The media loves negative spin.

The anxiety does crawl up. The other night I was having panic attacks: 'Oh, my God, what's going to happen to me? Am I ever going to have another job?

It's not what you spend but how you wear it that counts. The key is often to dress up inexpensive basics with accessories. Something like a beautiful designer bag or belt can make everything else look richer and more luxurious.

I am most proud of my integrity and least proud of my cynicism.

I was more feminine. I was a girly-girl until I moved to New York. Then I got really into the androgynous look of the early-'90s club scene.

I don't like to read about myself, whether it be positive or negative.

I refrain from lots of things I love, like cheese and carbs. I eat plenty of greens every day, my favorite being watercress.
