I want to be a female artist who is honest. I want to encourage other girls to be honest with who they are and not try to be picture perfect, because it's a woman's imperfections that make her perfect anyway.

I'm aware that given what I've done in the past - and having a well-known parent - that people will be very quick to judge my path more than others, but I have to just not care.

I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.

I'm quite a precious painter; my style is a messy fine art - sort of impressionist. I do portraits, I love painting other artists, but recently, I've been playing around with self portraits, putting on different characters.

I think suffering has always been an incentive for my creativity.

I wanted to do film. I was living in New York and working in theater, but I always wanted to do film.

There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music.

I lost 100 pounds and embraced theater and music as what I was going to make for the rest of my life.
