I'd perform in the mirror; I'd pretend to do interviews. I'd practice my autograph for hours.

I'm not an actor that works in front of a mirror, who tries to repeat her actions or whatever.

Look into a mirror, make eye contact with yourself, and say "I love me" as many times as possible during the day.
