Oh my gosh, I'd give so much advice to a younger version of myself. I would say it really does get better as you get older. The things that mean so much, the things that seem like, you know, it's going to cause the end of the world, are all things that I've already forgotten.

I only wear heels when a stylist puts me in them.

A lot of times, I think that what I do for a living has no integrity.
