In life, there is always that special person who shapes who you are, who helps to determine the person you become.

I have a very independent spirit.

People feel like they grew up with me.

When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.

I just needed to leave Hollywood.

Getting the pretty back is about getting back in touch with your essential self: the part of you that knows what you really want.

I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.
