When you finally accept that you're a complete dork, your life gets easier. No sense in trying to be cool.

I traveled all over the South looking for factories - to keep production in the South. I wanted to give back to the place and people that raised me.

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

If more men would see a story of what it was like to be pregnant, and how it felt to be in a place where you had to make a decision about whether to keep a pregnancy, maybe they would feel differently about women's health care.

I don't think I realised how stressed I was, being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It's not easy on anybody.

Everything I sang sounded awful. So I went outside and I screamed. Everyone pretty much agreed it was awful.

I don't want to discount the beautiful work that the fashion houses do, but somehow, just focusing on what you're wearing feels reductive.
