OMG! Is this true? [Marcus Bachmann] has a Christian clinic where he de-programs gay boys & girls! I'm gonna strangle him with my Boa!
I'm insecure about everything, because... I'm never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I'd like to look like.
I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.
I am the girl who everyone said was never going anywhere. I guess I shocked a few people.
A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.
I think the main big thing for me has been the acceptance from the U.S. That's still crazy to me. To come over to the U.S. and be a British girl and have all these people know who I am. It's unbelievable and it just seems to be getting better and better.
I don't feel like I have to be the nice girl.
In school, I was the quietest girl ever! I had a lot of trouble in school. Kids were mean to me.
I haven't had surgery. I've had my teeth done, which was a massive insecurity for me. But I'm one hundred percent happy. It's difficult, not just for people in the media, but for everyone - young girls and boys - especially in high school.
Mariah, Renee, they really supported me. I think it's because they know how difficult it is to work in the arts, and it's so easy to veer from that path. Life is short, and it's important that we support each other.
I know it sounds weird, but how bad, how hard can dying be?
I can't spell or do grammar, but I'm smarter and more serious than people think. I'm no featherweight when it comes to digging deep and being involved. So many stars I know do so much. It's our duty to give back.
I don't know what else I would be if I wasn't me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.
Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.
