Now that I'm a mom I look back at certain scenes and feel they were a little too sensuous. Fortunately my sons are so much into their own lives, they aren't interested in my films, though the elder one has seen some of my films. Today my sons have their own life. But they've given my life a whole dimension.
Has life been unfair to me? No! I believe if life hands you lemons you make lemonade. I'm an eternal optimist. I've no regrets. I've people who love me. I've a wonderful life. I'm grateful for what I have.

When you're actively working you have to accept media attention as part of your life. It's an entire package. One can't have success without an invasion of privacy. You resign yourself to that. Now when I'm no longer that active in films, I treasure my privacy.
I only miss the constant pay cheques (laughs heartily)! Compared with what today's girls are earning, our figures weren't all that rewarding.
