Myself Quotes
-
'In My Hands,' the title track, is my very first vocal attempt, and I'm not a singer as such.

It just comes from inside.

-
I think as you get older, you realize there's always going to be critics.

I don't really see myself that way, as some typical sexy young ingénue. I've never been that way.
