I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.
If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.
The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.
What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not.
I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.
My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate.
Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.
The opening and the folding flowers, that laugh to the summer's day.
I'm living in California but I have a place that is mine in Chile and I belong there. I am no longer an exile.
Every person gets negative things, they learn from those negative things, and you become a positive person.
It's never been integral to the story that I take my clothes off. I've always had clauses in my contracts saying no nudity and no body doubles. . . I admire actresses who can do it without feeling exploited. As long as it's their own free will, I think it's great. It's not a moral judgement, I've just never felt comfortable doing it - I'm too modest.
