I am my own audience. I always picture me and my mates and think, 'What would we enjoy listening to?'
I believe acting to be my own journey through connection more than anything else, but that's only my take on it.
My goal, as always, is simply to inform the public about an issue that is nearly impossible for them to learn about on their own. That is my only goal as a reporter.
I don't know exactly what is my impact, but I can say I am doing fashion my own way.
Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.
I've been designing my own pieces for a long time. My mother's a jewelry designer, so we knew at some point we were going to do a line and dive into the fashion world.
I used to be in my own world and keep to myself all the time, so there may have been a perception about my reserved demeanour that was misconstrued as arrogance. But when people interact with you, then they know the real you.
I like kids, but I don't expect to have any of my own. I'm 40 years old and spend most of my time working. I'd be a terrible mother.

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.
Country music was the music I was brought up on. It's the music that's closest to my heart and the music that speaks to me the most, and it's always been a big influence on my own songwriting.
Dinner 'conversation' at the Cohens' meant my sister, mom, and I relaying in brutal detail the day's events in a state of amplified hysteria, while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.
Agrado: How could I own a real Chanel when there is so much poverty in the world?
I would just like to be known as my own person. I don't need to ride on any coattails. I just want to make my mark myself.
It was a fairly happy childhood. My father was working away, and my mum brought up five kids all on her own.
Most researchers sit at a table and read books. My research, since three years old, has been to use my own body.
Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom.
