Did you ever wish to look like Barbie?

"I don't have any specific memories of wanting to look like Barbie, except for a period of time when I was slightly obsessed with Barbie's feet. I took ballet as a child so I had plenty of experience pointing my toes, and I am pretty sure I believed that I would need to develop permanently pointy feet in order to wear high heels."
