It's true that I have a very healthy ego; anybody who creates does.

I also have intense relationships with furniture... probably because we practically had none when I was growing up.

I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?

My mother never really thought I could become anything.

My biggest nightmare is I'm driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: 'Please help me.' And the people say: 'Hey, you look like...' And I'm dying while they're wondering whether I'm Barbra Streisand.
