Ever since I was a little girl, I always loved fashion. I would watch my mother get dressed and suggest things she should wear.
I asked why me? Why did I have to suffer so much pain and scars? I was just a little girl – I didn’t do anything wrong.
As a little girl, I thought I’d like to get married on the beach. But I’m not the quintessential girl who had these sort of fantasies about that stuff.
Before I went to work for ‘Playboy,’ I planned to apply to Yale to get a public policy master’s. I felt drawn to go into politics. Even before that, my dream was to wind up either in the Senate or on the Supreme Court. I had big dreams as a little girl.
When you’re a little girl, you never think anyone’s gonna tell you ‘no.’
What is free time? I’m a single mother. My free moments are filled with loving my little girl.
When I was a little girl, I told everyone I was going to marry a very clever scientist and have ten children. I would always draw the children, and they included blond-haired twin boys whom I named Theodore and Frederick: Teddy and Freddy for short.

You know, if I cleaned out my backpack, which I don’t really use anymore, I’d find a bunch of beads. I have a bunch of little girl cousins, they used to paint my toenails and stuff, and they’d make beaded bracelets and there are so many beads everywhere. It’s kinda embarrassing.

As a little girl growing up in a small farming town in Michigan, my idols were women like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth.
As a little girl, I didn’t dream of being a ballet dancer; I dreamt of being a movie star like Ginger Rogers and dancing with Fred Astaire. I used to watch the Sunday double-bills on TV and Iong to be part of what seemed a perfect Disneyland world. Astaire was a genius.
I’m strong and opinionated. Those qualities brought me a lot of problems since I was a little girl in school, saying ‘I don’t agree’ and fighting with the children. It’s part of my curiosity for life.
I’m married to a dear little girl who holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
I was a massive Tolkien fan. ‘The Hobbit’ was… my favorite book as a little girl, and the Silvan Elves were my favorite characters in the book.
I did a lot of little girl groups here and there just to get more comfortable on stage. When you’re in girl groups, it’s a lot different because if you mess up, there’s someone on stage to back you up, and finally I got to a point where I knew I could do it on my own.
As a black woman, I’ve always had to work hard to earn my respect as a musician – and as a young woman, too. As a writer, in certain sessions or certain rooms people think, ‘Who’s kid is this? Who’s this little girl?’ I’ve had to prove myself.
LA is a harsh city to be in when you’re a little girl from the South, and you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing and you are thinking, ‘Am I making, have I made a massive mistake? I don’t have money to move back home. My parents are not on board with this. What do I do?’
Clothing was something I always wanted to do. I’ve been pulling tear sheets from magazines since I was a little girl.
Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Yeah, I shoot. I shot with my dad a little bit when I was little. He was a Marine, so it wasn’t like he would take me to the ballet. We would go to a shooting range. It was the only thing he knew to teach his little girl how to do.

Ive been obsessed with beauty since I was a little girl.
One fight, I went away to train and my little girl was in Pampers. I came home and she was potty-trained. She was crawling when I left and walking when I came home. These are things I don’t want to miss anymore.
When I was a little girl, my imagination was what helped me deal with some sort of negative elements in my childhood.

When I was a little girl growing up in Elmira, I always wanted to be a lawyer.
It’s such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you’re not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily-Rose is on that road already, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
I’d recommend for any little girl starting out to play with the boys as long as possible.
I grew up a little girl in the Soviet Union playing at a small sports club. Tennis gave me my life.

I’ve always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
My grandmother took me to a play, and… there was a little girl on stage. And as soon as I saw her on stage, I thought, ‘This is my job’… I was probably, like, 7 or 8. I was very young… It was ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’.

Elton John is a huge influence and an artist I’ve listened to since I was a little girl.
I was a huge ‘Charlie’s Angels’ fan when I was a little girl, and I can go back to sitting on my couch in Ottawa, Ontario, watching TV and thinking, ‘How do I get to there from here, because that looks way better.’
My little girl was born in Los Angeles, and my wife was born in Bethlehem, Pa.

I’m not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
