I've tried to maintain my independence in Congress. Sometimes that has meant opposing my own party leaders.

I call myself, 'The Estee Lauder of the garden world.' I'm my own little conglomerate.

I was the youngest and on my own a lot. I think this probably taught me independence and how to be okay with my own company. Also, it meant I read a lot.

With 'House Party 4,' I did it with my own money, and I sold it to New Line.

I've sometimes thought that it's only by recalling that desperate devotion my kids once felt for me that I can maintain my own desperate devotion in the face of their adolescent sneering.

I don't do my own Instagram.
