For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It's an accessory.

I'm being all of me, and it feels stupendous. I don't want to leave this feeling.

I have a few caftans just for lounging purposes. When I want to feel free, it's the closest thing to feeling naked without being naked.

'True Blood' excites me. It scares me, but it excites me.

I didn't leave home until 27. I was an only child raised in Philadelphia by my mother and grandmother. My grandmother controlled the stove. She made a lot of potato meals - mashed potato, potato souffle, potato pancakes. When we didn't have electricity we ate romantically, by candlelight.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.
