It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.

I can express gratitude for the simple act of being able to breathe in and breathe out. I can move away from darkness and depression to light and hope. I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be. I am me, the true me; you are you, the true you - and that's good. That's beautiful. That's enough.

Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.

I enjoy them both [singing and acting] a great deal. I have a passion for both. Maybe acting just a little bit more because it's more of a challenge for me, while music comes so easily.

That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.

Every body type is different - that's what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.
