Many roads to take some to joy some to heart ache

If we could only turn back time

I hope Im always learning something.

By nature, Im a very positive person, and because Im happy in myself, and in my life, and Ive got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.

Im not very technically minded. I mean, I dont know how to do e-mail on computers.

I never had a desire to be famous... I was fat. I didnt know any fat famous actresses... You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that.

Before Titanic, yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because its just a bit daft for me.

I was suddenly really famous, and I didnt know how to cope. I didnt know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.

I know the true meaning of getting by by the skin of my teeth; I do. It doesnt matter whether youve got money or you havent, whether youre famous or not. This is the case for all women, actually; you have to carry on. You always have to carry on. And you can, because you have to.
