It's interesting for me to always make myself look very different.

I was born with lots of deformities.

Sometimes, I feel that if you're a strong, independent woman it scares people away, but actually it does the opposite.

I've never been to the opera; I've only seen opera on DVD.

My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.

I love strange things; my favorite movies are weird, eclectic, and intriguing.

When I go home, everyone's very proud. I get recognized the most when I go back to my hometown, but it's in a really sweet way. They're just very proud and supportive.
