We need role models who are going to break the mold.

You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.

It's like The Mold in Dr. Florey's Coat, about the discovery of penicillin. Out of these strange accidents come huge discoveries. A certain purple bleeds into red and all of a sudden you have something unexpected.

I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.

As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.

Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.

I've always thought of myself as being a warrior. When you actually have a battle, it's better than when you don't know who to fight.
