I was just genuinely shy. I'd always been a shy kid.

I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead.

No tears to damn you when jealousy burns.

Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

My sex drive has gone down so much since I've stopped doing coke. I was one of the few people that, when I did coke, I had an enormous sex drive. I still have a healthy sex life today, but it's not so important.

I had no balance in my life. I was this one person onstage and this person offstage, who really didn't know much about living.

The less I say the more my work gets done.
