I'm the female equivalent of a counterfeit $20 bill. Half of what you see is a pretty good reproduction, the rest is a fraud.

I can trust my friends... these people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.

I think that the longer I look good, the better gay men feel.

I've been up and down so many times that I feel as if I'm in a revolving door.

I'm not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I've managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.

I wear my clothes, my clothes don't wear me.

It was always 'Cher', I never thought of myself as anything but 'Cher'.
