The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can’t just say, ‘hi’. You say hi and people whisper’ man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.

I don’t want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.
When you become famous at 19, it does a number in your head, so you find romance in the mundane – isn’t it so great that a guy would pick me up at my house and take me to a restaurant?
I’ve never really cared if I was famous for my music. It was just something I had to do.
In my heart of hearts, I’m a character actress, whereas other people play their one strength.
I recommend everyone wakes up in the morning to Bachman Turner Overdrive’s ‘Taking Care Or Business’ – you’ll feel better.
