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

My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.

We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.

Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.

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.

I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.
