We literally just finished making this gown 20 minutes ago. I love it. It's my favorite color.

All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.

If you make a decision, a pact with someone, your friend, you should say, 'I'm gonna do this,' and you should stick to it.

I'd rather see a person with a natural mind and processed mind than a processed mind and a natural head.

I was the bohemian in my family, the "this is my favorite shoe and I don't care if it has tape around it" kind of person. The tape could become a fashion statement. Or a political statement.

All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.
