I'm so proud of myself. I worked with anger, with the darkest things in the world.

Being famous is just like being in high school. But, I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.

I am not a woman. I am a force of nature.

My daughter is an angel on earth, so when I see her it all goes away. I see her and - phew! - all that dark goes away pretty much.

I would like to say in defense of the Christian religion that there are nice things about it. There really are. And Marilyn can tear up the Bible all he wants and I understand why, but... there's good things in the Bible. Good things. Like about, you know, not killing people, and... you know... not sleeping with people's husbands.

I'm a survivor, at least that's what everyone tells me.

I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.
