Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they'd probably say yes, she's great, but.

I don't think getting in and out of a limousine has anything to do with being an icon.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

All of a sudden I feel more womanly, I feel like I got a figure. I was always really straight up and down, the skinny one in the middle, like that poster at Elaine's of the Supremes at Lincoln Center - it was done by Joe Eula. To me that's really a reflection of the way I was. I was just like a bean pole. Now I'm getting a few curves and I like it.

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself.

I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.
