I'm A Very Private Person,

Most Of The People I Know In Show Business Don't Need Anybody Pushing Them At All. They're Extremely Aggressive.

I Worked With My Parents On The Stage In Production Numbers Since I Was 4, But I Never Really Gave Much Thought To Being A Performer On My Own Until I Was 12 Or 13.

Hindsight Is Wonderful. It's Always Very Easy To Second Guess After The Fact.

If You Tell People Your Ambitions, They Usually Laugh At You. When I Told My Girlfriends When I Was 12 That I Was Going To Hollywood, They All Laughed. And Here I Am!

I Wanted Control Over The Merchandising, The Actual Packaging Of The Product. That Was A Big Factor. The Only Way For Me To Exercise Control On All Those Levels Was To Start My Own Label.
