I want to die with my blue jeans on.

My manic depression was ravaging my life, but because nobody could see it, many people thought it was a figment of my imagination.

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.
