I had a huge interior world as a kid: I'd sit on endless wet holidays in Cornwall playing with paper dolls.
I don't find anything interesting about the choices a character faces in major films or theater projects. The characters are just cut-out dolls with the American flag sewn on them.
I did not play with dolls. I played with a little hammer, paint and wood.
To me in my childhood, elves and fairies of all sorts were very real things, and my dolls were as really children as I was myself a child.
I've read 'Valley of the Dolls' at least four times. It's so epic!
There's a part of me that always has the little bit of the sassy sexiness in her. That's probably why I ended up with The Pussycat Dolls in the first place.
During my time in the Dolls, I was told that I shouldn't sing, that I wasn't allowed, and I suppose that had an impact on me.
When I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I did study jazz and pop, but Latin and ballroom were not at all in my world.
We aren't just some record to put out before the new Pussycat Dolls CD!
I grew up with six brothers, and I'm from Chicago, so princesses and Barbie dolls were not around the house. It was more like sports and comic books, so getting to work for Marvel is like my version of being able to be a princess.
