It’s not that serious I never put that much thought into us It wasn’t that I loved you I was curious.
We as human beings do this thing where we stuff down our feelings until they find a way to manifest themselves. We try to avoid them until there’s no more room and they come bubbling up like a pot of boiling-hot water that overflows. And when it does, it burns.
The weirdest thing about me is that I like to walk around naked.
I’m passionate, I’m driven at my job and I also am compassionate with people. We all think we can save somebody that we love.
My hair and makeup people and stylists have changed over the years, but they all know sometimes I want to do Marilyn, and on another day I want to do Jackie O. Though sometimes I look back and have to say, “Wow! What were we thinking there?”
I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway. I was on tour with a bubble gut!
Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.
For me, fashion is an expression of who I am right in that moment – so what you’re seeing is what I’m influenced by now.
You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, and take care of your soul – be your own keeper.
Whenever it feels uncomfortable to tell the truth, that’s often the most important time to tell it.
You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.
I look to the women who epitomize old Hollywood glamour, like Rita Hayworth. She had a way of making sophisticated clothes look sexy without ever seeming sleazy or cheap.
I grew up walking around naked in my house. My mom was like that, and my sisters.
I’m also influenced by all the places I’ve traveled since then: I’ve been to Hollywood and great fashion shows and seen the world. I have a different perspective, and I mix that up.
All of a sudden one day I was like, I’m good at this! Oh, man! People are not giving me jobs because they feel sorry for me! I am an actress. I am a singer. I am a performer. That’s what I do! Once I started giving myself a little credit, the whole world opened up.
If you ask me, I’d like to become the first female president. That would be really cool. The first thing I would do is redecorate the White House, it doesn’t look very cozy.
I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it’s smart to listen to other people’s advice, but at the end of the day, you’re the only one who can tell you what’s right for you.
My own style influences have to do with where I grew up, in the Bronx, and I still like to wear bangles and big hoops!
I love a long bath. I love anything creative. I love decorating. I even love just flipping through magazines and vegging out for a while. But I’m also one of those people who loves to work, so I’ll sing, dance, work on my next performance, or write whomever it may be about a new idea.
In Hollywood, she’s revered, she gets nominated for Oscars, but I’ve never heard anyone in the public or among my friends say, ‘Oh, I love Winona Ryder.’
