If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.

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.

It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.

When you are 18, 19, 20, you're used to being photographed all the time, in a certain way. So, the narcissism becomes almost out of control. And the way that young women are photographed, they become addicted to this feedback of the image.

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

I got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music - I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter - that I got from my dad.

I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.
