Your wisdom out numbers your years. Your beauty is deep and your heart is big enough to love and envelope the world, your sense of humor……very important…. is insurmountable. I could go on.
Your Japanese needs some work, but thats doable. I love you angel. Mama.

Last week the Mask of Zorro star said she encourages her kids to follow their heart with their careers.
The journey Ive had as an actor has been extraordinary, Zeta-Jones said during an interview
So I can only encourage them to do what they love.
Theyre both extremely bright and theyre both studying history and politics…and they get all their brains from me.
But that said, Michael and I would be the first parents to say, You know, maybe you should think of another career, but weve seen how passionate they are about the craft. They know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all of that.
