Patricia Clarkson, I love you so much.

Ive had beautiful, extraordinary men in my life, and I wouldnt change any of that.

But Ive never wanted to marry, Ive never wanted children.

I was born without that gene.

I have so many sisters who have beautiful children, and they now have beautiful children, she continued.

I love being an aunt, I love it more thanprobably more than acting, which is odd.

But Im telling you, these are gorgeous children, but that doesnt have to define every woman.

You have to be a great parent, and I was afraid I couldnt be….

I’m fine failing as an actor.

I didnt want to fail at being a parent.

Thats some healthy perspective!

I woke up at 50 in stilettos and a thong…Ive had a great sexy-ass life.
