- "Before this starts to circulate and spin into something else I want to address a 'quote' that has started to run from an interview I did with a French magazine called Jalouse. The quote reads 'I wouldn't trade my place with an unattractive girl' Sigh. "The actual comment, the context and it's intention are grossly distorted and misrepresented here. I gave this interview in English obviously, it was then translated to French and now back into English. I've never made vapid self serving comments and in contradiction am uncontrollably self deprecating," she posted.
