I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.

Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.

For years I stopped reading beauty magazines because I couldn't look at one without wanting to blow my brains out. How can those women look so good?

I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.

My mother was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. There are moments when I remember her beauty, unadorned, unposed, not in some artificial place like a set or a photo call but rather captured outdoors in nature, where she took my breath away. When those moments surface, I miss her the most.

To make new friends you have be willing to put in the time.

I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.
