I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.
With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you're coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.
People get real comfortable with their features. Nobody gets comfortable with their hair. Hair trauma. It's the universal thing.
I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.
I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.
And I was ashamed of myself for feeling like I had to do that in order to look a certain way. I felt misshapen, just not natural anymore. And I think it was a big stimulator of my drug use.
If I'm honest I don't think the world would miss me if I never acted again.
My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.
My life is so filled with my children, my family, and the charitable work I do.
My kids are not interested in anything I do. And I mean that not in any dis to my children or dis to me. My kids have their own life, they could give a sh*t what I do.
You can't live a truthful life without regret.
Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.
I don't ever want to make taking pictures into another way of saying 'Here I am'. Because I'm as here as I want to be.
Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
