ADD QUOTES
- Meg Ryan: (revealing she almost named her daughter Oprah Winfrey Ryan) I had a friend who was in a little bit of a manic phase, a little bi-polar, and I was getting reams and reams of names from her. My favourite was Oprah Winfrey Ryan. I knew then that I was in trouble. She was convinced that celebrities should just name their babies after celebrities. But we had to rule it out.

- Meg Ryan (revealing she hurt Russell Crowe when she ended their affair): I think he took a big hit. But Russell didn't break up the marriage. He was definitely there at the end, but it wasn't his fault. I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn't be in another long relationship, it wasn't the time for that. So I got out.

- Meg Ryan: I've been an actress and famous person since I was 19 years old. I just needed to be with my son and figure out my life and see what I wanted. I felt like I was very reactive about my life as opposed to being proactive.
