My mother...taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

There's stars out there who would die to have this much exposure.

I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.

All the stuff, curtains, fabrics and whatever else is coming, too.
