I'm a bit of an alchemist sorceress. I've collected probably 1500 oils from around the planet over the last ten years. I'm kind of obsessed with the sensuality of it.

I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.

Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.

A feeling is not bottomless. once felt all the way through,a great peace greets you there

It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.

I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.
