I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image. That's just so not me.

I don't want to be just a straight pop singer. I'm a vocalist and that's what I want to be seen as in the long run.

I am very honest, even in interviews.

How could you not learn from Cher with her work ethic and the way she commands attention when she walks into a room, but exudes such peaceful tranquility and love for everyone. She just makes you feel warm and welcome and more inspired to do a better job because you want to step up to the plate.

I'm an artist, and expressing myself in a sexual way, no matter how that changes throughout the years, is something that has always come naturally to me. At this point of my life, I'm 32 and I feel sexier than ever because you know what you want.

In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.

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.
