Were going to move through this moment,'' the actress explained. And, you know, a lot of times its funny and you can lean over and say, This is crazy balls, and have a moment together and then hold your head up high and go to the next thing.

Im OK to have conversations like that with people and, to me, it doesnt define somebody, Cheryl said. To some people it does and its like you cant control it. Theres nothing I can do about it, so I have to let it wash over me.
