Over the years, I’ve interviewed the victims, the guilty, the famous, the important, and the ordinary people affected by tragedy or good fortune.

I first noticed my varicose veins when I was pregnant with my second child, and I’d always thought that it was something that affected older, inactive people. I looked at my lifestyle and thought, ‘I can’t be a candidate for this.’ Eventually, the pain became something I couldn’t ignore.
Pharrell’s affected everyone through music. To work with someone like that – it’s a gift. You ever meet somebody you can learn so much from, and all you have to do is be quiet and watch? That’s what it was like. I took in how he moves, speaks, how he creates, the whole nine.

You can’t be a good actor if you get too affected by fame. Because then you’re not real, and you’re not really wanting more. You look at a lot of actors who, before they were famous, did a lot of amazing work, and once they got too big, it just got off.

Instead of reading a paper, we now read the news online. Instead of buying books at a store, we buy them on-line. What’s so revolutionary? The Internet has mainly affected our leisure life.

If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, ‘You are a lovely, beautiful person’, who isn’t going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself – or at least I do – to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that’s dangerous.
The only way the gender divide affected me was the social things the younger guy executives could do with their bosses. I don’t know what went on in the clubs, because I didn’t go. I made sure my work was stellar, and that compensated for whatever social time we weren’t spending together.
I was so affected by the tragic shootings that took place in Newtown, Connecticut, as we all were.

I’m not affected by violence the way some people are. I don’t know why, but I enjoy that intensity.
For many of us, this is very painful, pulling the lever for someone many think odious. But please consider this: A vote for Donald Trump is not necessarily a vote for Donald Trump himself. It is a vote for those who will be affected by the results of this election. Not to vote is to vote. God will not hold us guiltless.
