All of the advice that I give, I'm not an expert by any means, but it's just my opinion. So if somebody likes me or likes y style or my career, I think they should have that feeling.

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 can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.

To preach abstinence, I think, is absolutely not the right message to give to kids.

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.

Usually the kids are portrayed as very one-dimensional. Like these mindless animals that just have three things on their minds: getting laid, getting drunk, and driving real fast over Mulholland Drive.

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