My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.

My father would have been made a bishop much earlier than he was had it not been for me and my image.

I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.

Whatever; bling always has something to hide.

I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.

I never do what anyone else is doing. I could walk away from music and become a farmer or do some crochet. The worst thing in life for me is to do something I'm not happy doing.
