art
New York is more where art is bought than where art is made.
beautiful girl art
I had danced when I was younger, until I was about 12, and I always idealized it, as most young girls do, as the most beautiful art. It's an expression without words.
mom father artist
My mom devotes so much of her time toward me. She's an artist, and my father is a doctor. I've been brought up in what you might call a pretty conventional family.
interesting literature arthur
There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.
jobs fun artist
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
taken risk artistic
If I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one my greatest artistic and personal experiences.
classify romantic sad sort
I don't know who would not classify themselves as a romantic. I think that would be sort of sad.
I remember as a kid being really scared of the Smurfs.
I remember how to be a person by being around them.
They tell me: 'OK, this is where we're going to push up your cleavage,' and I'm like, 'What cleavage?'
time
The only place I am recognized all the time is in L.A. and otherwise, it's only about once a day. I feel pretty anonymous.
cabbage cliched cut draw faces patch total
I was, like, a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
books films romance romantic watching
I always think the most romantic books or films are the ones where the romance doesn't happen, because it makes your heart ache so much watching it.
hug run shines time
Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.
