After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?

I knew that I was a good writer in high school and won awards, and I was the editor of my school newspaper. So I knew that I was a good writer and I wanted to somehow capitalize and sort of utilize a talent that I thought I had.

My partner is a Frenchman, so I have got to smell right.

I've always loved the pomp and circumstance of dressing up; the pagenatry and all of the glamour of Hollywood.

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.

Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.
