I like a lot of makeup and I like big blonde hair. Life’s too short for the natural look. Bang it on.

When I started in the business there were no women in executive positions, no women producers or directors and certainly no camerawomen and we were destined to do very archetypal roles, very cliched things, so I was a dizzy blonde for years.
People think of me as the blonde loud lairy one from Girls Aloud, but that’s not me when I go home at the end of the night, that was a persona I was given in the band and I did play up to it quite a lot but that’s not me 24/7.
If you are blonde with a little nose people always think you are gentle and not very bright.
I have had brown hair and bangs since I was 2. One year I dyed it blonde, which felt so weird.
You didn’t have to read ‘Playboy,’ visit the mansion, wear pajamas, or even be straight: The effects of its ideas about women on the American psyche were totalizing. Women were inferior to men because, for ‘Playboy,’ they were scenery – pretty, passive, usually white, often blonde, there.
We had no clue that Cuba was not Marco Rubio. You get there, and everyone is Afro Cuban. And you start to realize, ‘Where are the blonde, blue-eyed Cubans? Oh, they’re all in Miami.’

In high school – that’s when I first fell in love with his music and his voice. ‘Blonde on Blonde’ above everything. I vaguely remember ‘Desire’ coming out. I definitely remember ‘Street Legal’ and ‘Slow Train Coming.’ The first time I saw Dylan was on that tour: ’79 in L.A.
My mother was not a country girl. She was a Brooklyn girl, born and raised in Flatbush, and then a Long Island girl, who liked shopping, ‘a little glitter’ in her clothes, and keeping secret the actual color of her hair, which from the day I was born to the day she died, was the ‘platinum blonde’ of Jean Harlow’s.
In ‘Thor,’ that was my own hair. I grew it out. But I have naturally curly, blonde hair, so I’ll never look like that.

I’ve read some things where people are like, ‘Beyonce wants to be white’ because she has blonde highlights in her hair, but it’s ridiculous. You know, she is who she is, and she’s a very proud black woman. I know people with natural hair that are the least black inside; you know, it doesn’t matter.
I would love to continue in music, with writing… but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don’t need to be blonde when I’m 60!
When I first met my agent, I said, If something comes up and it fits my age range and personality, I would like you to send me up for it, even if it specifies blonde or brunette.
