Her attitude has definitely changed since she started acting, especially how she perceives herself. “How I’d describe myself in three words: In 1994 — Chubby, Chubby, Chubby (But in all fairness, I had just had a baby.) Today — Quirky, Eccentric, Happy.”

Adding, “Now, with the book, I realize I am ambitious for a combination of things that aren’t external — self-love, self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness, and for real connection. I feel like I’m a caterpillar coming out of the cocoon. I’m going to be a butterfly.”

She continued, “I was recently going through thousands of photos, and, I mean, looking at the life I've lived, the things we've done, it's incredible and I'm so appreciative.” For the G.I. Jane actress, looking back was the best way to move forward.
