Use Your Gifts

Me being driven in the direction I am, I hope, is beneficial to my four kids. They see what purpose does for somebody, whether it's conventional or in my case, not. I left school at 16 to become an actor, much against my parents' permission. They were just, 'Oh my god, you got to finish school. You got to do this. You got to go to university.' I had my brain and my instinct had different ideas. And it's made me relax as a mother because now at 45, I'm doing what I was born to do, communicating, absorbing, translating things into layman's terms. I don't know how I can do it, but I just can. I didn't learn that at school. And it's helped me relax into what my kids are doing.
