I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

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.

If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?

I've never been into what am I going to do next, trying to reinvent myself.

What I love about Gaga is her story, where she came from. Before she made it, before anyone knew who she was, I knew who she was and, to see her finally make it, I was so happy. If we were to work together that would be cool.

Marvin Gaye is our John Lennon. The longer he's gone, the more young people appreciate his art. 'What's Going On' was a work of genius far ahead of it's time.

If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant.
