Figure out what works for you and what doesn't.

I never wear makeup when I'm not at work. It can make you forget what you look like, and I've grown to really love the way I look without it.

When I'm singing a song, I picture somebody in particular. A lot of it is to a guy.

I'm trying to think of what I'm ashamed of. But, damn, I don't really have any shame.

I don't even think about fame at all.

I love Edith Wharton. And I love old New York. Anything to do with New York.

Be yourself. The happiest and most successful people are those who feel the most comfortable with themselves.
