Authenticity has never been Barbie's strong suit.
Patience has never been my strong suit.
Balance has never been my strong suit.
Propriety's never been Adrian's strong suit.
Going unnoticed has never been my strong suit.
You know, search has never been a strong suit of Facebook.
International politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.
I wasn't Barbie-obsessed. I think my mother might have been my Barbie.
When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls - I'd be the crazy diva Barbie and she'd be the homeless Barbie.
I have never been a major fashionista, but I love a suit, and I did have one made for me by the tailor Stephen Williams. The great thing about a bespoke suit is that it covers up my pot belly. When I buy a suit, I'll pick shoes, belt, tie, shirt and socks, and that will be what I always wear with it.
One of the reasons I like a suit is because I've never been that keen on my body. The shape a suit presents is always going to be better than anything I can do.
Both my husband and I wanted a boy. I wasn't sure what I'd do with a daughter. What if she asked for a Barbie? I would have been like, 'Honey, we don't support Barbie because she isn't an accurate depiction of a woman's body.'
To be honest, I owned one suit before I filmed 'Mad Men' - the one suit that you have to have as an adult. Outside of that, I never really felt comfortable in a suit.
Records have never really been my strong suit. I've always been a much better live act. I didn't understand the language of the studio. You sing differently in a studio. The language, the craft - it's just a whole different deal. I avoided the problem on my first record by doing a live album.
My strong suit is that I've been willing to risk on the page to get somewhere interesting.
The first suit I enjoyed was a Dior suit that I got given. I've never worn anything that fitted that closely - it was akin to 'Oh my God, I had no idea that a suit didn't have to be this wide.' But I do intend to get one made some day.
Barbie is my fashion icon. People think I'm Paris Barbie - and it's a compliment.
