I hate politics, hate deals, and deal-making, hate meeting with attorneys and agents.

There was no way we'd ever get spoiled. Daddy made sure to instill in us a work ethic.

I change my hairstyle every day for the show, I'm fastidious and vain about my nails and teeth and grooming and makeup, but a perfect body, forget it. Dust to dust, wuggies to wuggies.

Insist upon yourself. Be original.

I believe staying young at heart is all in one's personal attitude... you can't instill that in anyone.
