I remember when I first started in the business I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

When I started Netscape I was brand new out of college and all the aspects of building a business like balance sheets and hiring people were new to me.

When I started the business I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

I started the site when I was 19. I didn't know much about business back then.

If I could set a world record it would be that I have 150 business partners all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.

In today's social business marketplace Facebook is one of the best places for nonprofits to be discovered and connect with a larger audience on the basis of shared values. So to get started a non-profit should launch a Facebook page and invite your existing real world community to connect your cause and their networks.

I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.

I started out mopping floors waiting tables and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business. And when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become with the core values of this great nation I put my name forward and ran for office.

When I started my last business I didn't receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can't handle that pressure.

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.

I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday my first check went straight to the bank.

Well I started conducting kind of by accident. I wanted to give myself a special birthday present for my fortieth birthday and I was living in San Francisco at the time and I started attending some of the concerts and then simply dropping hints.

I started running around my 30th birthday. I wanted to lose weight I didn't anticipate the serenity. Being in motion suddenly my body was busy and so my head could work out some issues I had swept under a carpet of wine and cheese. Good therapy that's a good run.

I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest but when they told me I could never have sex not even on my birthday I changed my mind.

I was in the bath at the time and my dad came running in and said 'Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?' and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.

I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life.

When I tried to play something and screwed up I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.

I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

I came on to the film with a very happy-go-lucky attitude which I think my character Charlie did when she went into the house. I expected it to be good and then slowly things started to change for us all.

As I wrote I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older soft-spoken and she started showing some attitude.

In the late '70s maybe just before I started there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa but that's gone now.

There are a lot of movies I'd like to throw away. That's not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world but some films just don't work.

On 'Van Halen ' I was a young punk and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town gunslinger attitude. But I'd say that at the time of 'Fair Warning ' I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people's minds I'm just a gunslinger.

Smiles come naturally to me but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.
