I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

I've lived long enough to feel the sway of corporations both legal and illegal. Corporations give you drugs and they prescribe and prescribe them and they can be worse for you. Whereas you have illegal drugs and that is all about moderation. You have to know your body.

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

Whatever; bling always has something to hide.

It was very painful combing my hair. My grand-uncle was a Pentecostal bishop, and he was very strict: our hair couldn't be permed or straightened. So I just cut it all off.

I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
