I think when people hear about a celebrity writing a book of any kind, the assumption is that it was dictated to a ghostwriter.

I think that it is real important for someone to be really honest and open emotionally. I'm really an emotional person. If I'm that way and the guy isn't that way I just really feel like a jerk.

Originally I considered myself a singer.

I just did in my early twenties what most did when they were teenagers, being free and exploring and making mistakes, but I did it in France. I did it privately.

I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.

Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food.

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