California is an unbelievable state. One day I might be in a spiritual place like Joshua Tree, then before I know it, I'm eating groovy sushi in a mini-mall. I'm a Cali girl through and through.

I know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion' or 'the flu'?

I understand there are inevitable things that we have to go through: heartbreak, family problems. I don't feel like some Quixotic idiot who says, 'We don't have to feel pain.' No! Let's feel it, let's make it work for ourselves. But I want us all to be able to get past it.

I want to be the rock that floats.

My whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.

But in some ways, I'm like an old woman - lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.

In general, people are true to their signs.
