Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've grown up a little bit. I'm almost 40 years old now. But everyone was introduced to me when I was 18 and I looked like I was 15. I've been around a long time.
Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life.
People flash back to pictures of me when I was 12 and say 'Kylie's so different,' but how can I look the same from 12 -18?
In most cultures, you can have a kid at 18 and it's not a big thing. It's not like, 'Oh, you've got to get a different haircut and move to the suburbs and act, like, 35.'
When I started out in the industry I was 14 and a beanpole, but over the last few years I've grown. For the most part I feel pretty OK with how I look. I know I'm different from the typical Hollywood ideal of what is beautiful. But quite frankly I don't think that's attainable, and I'm happy to represent something different.
I always had the facial hair so I looked older than I was.
As I've got older, and since I cut all my hair off, I've felt a bit more liberated about trying different things out.
It's not like I cleaned up with girls. I always looked young and I was very small; I hated being 'cute.'
I'm learning to accept everything that I am. I've accepted that I'm not going to be a stick-thin-model kind of girl. When I was 14, I was tall and spindly. By the time I turned 18, I had become a woman, and my body's not going to go back to what it looked like when I was 14.
Hair is about when you're younger. I am my hair.
