If I was having a bad day, or if something was really getting me down -- boy troubles, whatever -- I wanted to go out and get a new piercing. It was definitely a release for me. Something that made me feel a little more strong or empowered. Because it was something that had to do with me and no one else.

In school that used to happen a lot: they'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

I'm comfortable with my body and it was a creative choice. I know that might make some women feel uncomfortable, but we need to stick together instead of getting angry at each other for our choices. I think women are sensual, beautiful beings, and I feel empowered when I express myself sexually.

Whether you like me, or hate me, this is me.

The most successful people I've worked with, like the Rolling Stones - people of a different, kind of legendary caliber - have such great, warm energy.

You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy. I'm very confident and happy with my body.
