I get all dressed up with that Marianne Faithfull face, and the next thing I know, I'm blurting out things that I shouldn't, trying to get attention when, really, I've got everybody's attention already.

I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?

I do take care of myself; I get my nails done, and I have a skin doctor, but that's it. I'm clean and groomed.

I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

I like my work, but my life always comes first. I always wanted to have a beautiful life, and the way to do it is in show business.

Of course I have regrets; I'm not stupid.
