"Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'"
About this Quote
The phrasing matters. “Learn from” is managerial, almost PR-clean, the kind of verb you use when you’re trying to convert chaos into something legible. It’s not confession, and it’s not apology. It’s reframing. Then she pivots to “every morning,” grounding the statement in routine rather than redemption arc. That’s the subtext: stability isn’t a grand comeback; it’s repetition, a daily decision to start again even when the world wants you stuck in your worst highlight reel.
“Good head on my shoulders” is doing double duty. It’s self-encouragement, but it’s also a rebuttal to the enduring insinuation that she’s irresponsible, unreliable, unserious. By narrating her own inner monologue - “It’s going to be a good day!” - she claims authorship over the story that’s usually told about her. Not “I am cured,” not “I am punished,” just: I’m here, I’m trying, and I’m choosing a mood before the cameras do.
In a celebrity culture that profits from relapse narratives, this is a surprisingly defiant kind of normal.
