You know, I've been playing with my hair color ever since I was nine.

I never had a rivalry with Madonna. You don't knock another sister, ever. There's room for everybody on this planet; you don't have to be like anyone else.

It's that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what's happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who's able to create.

Music, in its higher state, for me, is worth living and dying for. It's worth traipsing around the globe, it's worth the accolades and the other side of the accolades...I always have sung to the angels and the higher parts of people's souls.

I have never been prouder to be a lifelong New Yorker than I am today with the passage of marriage equality.

People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes, now they wanna know where I buy them.

I've been a diva since I was four.
