I like parties, but I'm shy, and I often find myself standing around, feeling awkward.

The fact is, my parents loved me, and I wanted to be worthy of their love. I wanted to make them proud.

I didn't know a damn thing about style.

It struck me that what I'd heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn't a myth; it is tangible and forceful.

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.
