Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.

I do believe that men can be emasculated by successful women. I don't think I'm emasculating. But I have seen the dynamic with men who either don't make money or make less money. It's just not good for them.

Parents do the best they can. But my parents are better grandparents than they were parents.

I think I'm a kind of a person who works hard at whatever I do, literally from being a waitress to being on television. I always try to give 110 percent to whatever it is I'm doing.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no death the way we understood it. The body dies, but not the soul.

A detective sees death in all the various forms at least five times a week.

For me, success is being happy. I used to think it was lots of houses, lots of record sales, lots of stories to tell. But some massive life changes, getting a divorce and my dad dying, led to a huge period of reflection.

I don't have a death wish. On the contrary, I'm hanging onto my life like never before.
