I Was Known As The Little Girl

After I Had My Son, Max, I Knew I Wanted To Get Involved In Causes That Help Children.

If I Was Having A Bad Day, Or If Something Was Really Getting Me Down -- Boy Troubles, Whatever -- I Wanted To Go Out And Get A New Piercing. It Was Definitely A Release For Me. Something That Made Me Feel A Little More Strong Or Empowered. Because It Was Something That Had To Do With Me And No One Else.

Basically, What I'm Saying Is There Is Nothing Fake About What I Do. I'm Up-front, I'm Real, I'm Honest And I'm Open With My Feelings.

It's So Weird To Say This About The Icon And Legend That Is Cher, But She's Like An Old Girlfriend. We Still Talk All The Time. She's An Incredible Person Personally And Professionally, Giving Such Amazing Advice, Stories For Days, Been There Done That. She's One Of A Kind.

Growing Up With The Childhood That I Had, I Learned To Never Let A Man Make Me Feel Helpless, And It Also Embedded A Deep Need In Me To Always Stick Up For Women.
