I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.

Actually, the books were never a planned career path.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

Getting sober was the single bravest thing I've ever done and will ever do in my life.

The media nowadays has given the message to adults. Don't try new things, don't look foolish because we will catch you and then broadcast it to the world. I think children don't have that.

Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.

I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
