People have called me 'lesbian' for growing my hair.

Whenever I have short ,it's important for me to be inspired by people with short hair.

I never really liked my short hair; it never occurred to me that people would want it.

I'm in fact a hair under six feet, but I'm very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.

People do think you're more intelligent if you have dark hair. But my husband definitely prefers me as a blonde.

When I'm in the Switzerland backcountry and nobody around looks like me, people were like, 'Can I touch your hair?'

I shaved my head a week or two before senior year. People used to ask me why, and the main reason is that having hair felt terrible.

Most of the people interviewing me are far more square than me. I think it's the ET thing. I'm sitting there, my hair is combed, and I'm in a suit.

Some years ago, I landed in Mumbai with no eyebrows, no eyelashes, or hair. I wore a mask over my nose and yet people came up to me and asked, 'aren't you Mumtaz?'

I thought I was very pretty without hair. Naked, more honest somehow. No glamor, just bald old me. I seldom wore wigs or hats. But some people must have thought I was an exhibitionist or a religious fanatic.

We have defined these characters - people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one - much like when they see Jon Hamm's hair when it isn't slick - they say, 'Wait a minute, you're all 2010!'

There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.
