When I was growing up in L.A. in the late '70s and early '80s, Michael Jackson's was the first face on TV that looked like mine.

Chrissie Hynde is the blueprint for any teenage pop star wannabe looking to have some real cred.

From their '61 Cavern Club debut to their last rooftop concert eight years later, The Beatles gave every serious artist in their wake the songbook and sound for their career. It's the musical trough from which nearly every musician drinks.

I get my clothes from three sources: Target, thrift shops, and friends. It's simple and it's cheap.

I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.

No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.

I think there is something about... unless you come from a really evolved family that allowed you to talk about your feelings and felt like a safe environment, then you aren't really prepared to do that when you grow up.

There was a time when I'd resigned myself to never having my own family, so to fall pregnant with Belle was overwhelming.
