I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.

I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.

Sometimes, you see folks who have a negative view of dreamers - people who sit around all day on their hindquarters and do absolutely nothing. These folks aren't dreamers - they are just lazy. To me, dreaming is just part of being alive, inspired, and curious about the world.

I don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.

The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

If I hadn't been a woman, I'd have been a drag queen

I used to always sit in church looking out the windows at the boys, wondering if I could make an excuse to go out and, you know, go to the bathroom because all the outdoor toilets. But anyhow, I was only going out to see the boys.
