There's no such thing as working too hard. Don't throw in the towel. Keep trying. But always make time for playfulness and silliness and joy in every day.
I'm much more aware of how distraught my father could be internally. That was normal to me - the obsession with work, the crazy hours - and when I watch it on screen I really see how enveloped he was by show business to the point where he didn't develop much of another life. Everything was show business to him.
It took me a long time to learn both good and bad can exist simultaneously.
I think historically it's good for younger people to see where so much influence has come from. If you're using my mother as a role model it gives women permission to be kooky and wonderful and individual and unique and loyal and independent all at the same time.
My parents really doted on me in so many ways. They had an intense love and participation in my well-being.
