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 haven't been to Berlin Fashion Week before, but it's really on the up. Being an artist as well as a model, I know that the art world is booming here, so it makes sense that fashion would feel that effect, too.

I came from a very poor family. And I was able to rise up and actually win an Academy Award. And if I can do it, then any kid can do it.

I've had many friends over the years who have been in same-sex relationships, and the family denies hospital visitations when one is sick. Or when the estate is settled and people who have built a life together has everything taken away from them either by the families or the taxman.

When my son was born, and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home, I burst into tears. It wasn't the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror.

I did an ABC Family movie called 'Cyberbully' a couple years ago, and it was unlike any movie I'd ever done before. I remember just reading the script and thinking, 'OK, she cries in every scene.'
