It's very hard, when you're a famous person, to "de-famous" your home, but tokens of my fame just felt like a burden for my children. And for me.

I don't ever want to make taking pictures into another way of saying 'Here I am'. Because I'm as here as I want to be.

And I was ashamed of myself for feeling like I had to do that in order to look a certain way. I felt misshapen, just not natural anymore. And I think it was a big stimulator of my drug use.

I believe that life is hard. That we all are going to walk through things that are hard and challenging, and yet advertising wants us to believe that it's all easy.

I thought, while they're up and firm, why not shoot them once or twice.

Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.

Once we get out into a kind of an open world, we really do learn about ourselves and for me it's a lesson in discovering yourself, discovering your inner resources and then literally, in the movie, finding your voice.
