I'm No Stranger To Criticism.

I Don't See Makeup As A Defense. I See It As A Creative Outlet. I Am A Woman Who Has My Extreme Vulnerable Side And My Baggage--and At Times I Feel Extremely Weak. And Who's To Say A Little Mascara Doesn't Make You Feel More Confident When You Pop It On And Look In The Mirror? It Helps, Especially In My Position, Where I Have People Waiting Down The Street To Take Pictures Of Me So They Can Evaluate And Criticize Every Little Flaw On My Face.

It's Important To Recognize Your Own Self-destructive Behavior And Be Honest About It. You're Only Hurting Yourself Or Losing Out On Your Truth And Happiness. I'm Not Afraid To Face My Own Personal Stuff. It's So Important To Dig It Up And Figure It Out And Move On.

It's Definitely A Dream Come True To Be Recognized And To Be Able To Sign Autographs. But, It's Also A Lot Of Hard Work And Can Be Draining. If You Don't Know Already, You Will Quickly Learn Who Your Real Friends Are.

It's So Weird To Say This About The Icon And Legend That Is Cher, But She's Like An Old Girlfriend. We Still Talk All The Time. She's An Incredible Person Personally And Professionally, Giving Such Amazing Advice, Stories For Days, Been There Done That. She's One Of A Kind.

I Have Always Been One To Encourage Perseverance.
