It's great to have financial support. But having someone's emotional support is something that I wish I had more of growing up.

I'm a showman. I believe that you're a character every time you put on clothes.

I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and I honestly started performing for my family when I was around three. I would jump up on the coffee table and I would get in the closet and ask that they introduce me to come out, and from that point on, my mother stuck me in dance class and children's theater.

I have a really great bathtub, and I unwind by taking baths.

There are two different sides of my personality, much like everyone has two different sides of their personality. I mean, it's a profession... It's something that I do. And I'm not Erika Jayne 24 hours a day.

Being able to express yourself under the name Erika Jayne and saying things people want to say but wouldn't, or doing things that people want to do but don't, or taking that extra leap of faith or pushing the levels of sexuality, or whatever, that helps Erika Girardi stand on her own two feet and be calm and peaceful.

I'm very afraid of the dark. I even have a night light.

You have to treat your skin very tenderly. You can't be aggressive with your skin.

If I'm not working I'm not wearing makeup. The skin needs to breathe.
