I feel like women very often do write differently than men, but women write things that men can't write.

I've done kissing scenes with people who have been loaded. I'd think, 'Do you actually have to drink that Jack Daniels to kiss me?'

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

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

Automatically everybody thinks of me as an actress who is trying to sing. And if I weren't me I'd probably think the same thing.

I've always been the go-to girl for all of my girlfriends in terms of relationship advice or clothing advice.

I think once you sort of cross over and you realize what books can be - and if they mean something to you - there's just no stopping you.
