I think what people see in me is one slice of who I am. It does permeate my life in the sense that I don't like to be told what to do, or how to be, or how I can do it. But I'm probably a lot tamer than people would expect.

I don't wait till stage to use my sexuality. My zipper's down right now. I mean, I use it all the time.

I've been able to do a lot of things a lot of people haven't, that other people would dream of. I've been able to live out my fantasies, and dreams! So, I'm real lucky.

I've always got something to say.

Obviously, the music and lyrics are in me, but if I let myself get in my own way, I do. I empty out and let it come, and then the music spirits take over.

Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.

I don't really care if you think I'm strange--I ain't gonna change!
