I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.

Memory is the first casualty of middle age, if I remember correctly.

I remember, when I was younger, it was such a big fantasy for me. Now that I actually have a career and have made an album, it's really surreal.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

I remember, as I was hovering around 40, I thought each movie would be my last, really.

I was born in 1970 in Illinois, but all the life I remember I've spent in Chapel Hill, N.C.
