I was never pretty, never really popular. I was lanky and funny looking.

What I really want is a commercial hit. If you're in a hit, you're suddenly a star, whether you acted well or not.

Even if I get thrown out of Hollywood, I'll come back.

I was the ugly duckling until I reached puberty.

It's so funny because I listen to songs that I recorded that I didn't really know anything about at the time. Later on I'm starting to feel the songs. Sing them first, feel them later.

I was really heavy growing up, so it was never feeling like the pretty girl, never being popular.
