To be able to have an effect on someone's life is extraordinary .

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

The way I see it, the longer I live here the less of a choice you will all have not to hire me for plays.

Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.

I'm learning how to deal with life in a different light than I have before and in a different way than I have before.

This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.

Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.
