If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I have a history, a long history of being stereotyped as a five-foot-two woman, which is very limiting. I've worked so hard to create characters that have dignity. And I think everybody knows that I have a very pro-woman message in my work - and in my life.

I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s, the ignorance of youth is bliss. As you get older, you start to realise that you don't really know anything and life is a great traveling journey. Life is unexpected...you just never know whats going to happen.

It really bothers me when people don't use coasters. Particularly on my table.

My rule is, if it's not moving-monogram it!

We need to give artists a lot of free room to create.
