I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women... This social revolution of feminism in the '70s really achieved so many of its goals-not every single one of them, obviously-but I think we should say it's great that these young women don't feel like they need to be feminists.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God. I pray all the time — for self-control, for humility. There's a lot of gratitude in it. Just saying 'thank you' sometimes is better than asking for things.

People don't want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn't do what Rihanna does. I couldn't do what Gaga does. They can't do what I do.

If you're presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.

I am a gay activist and I say that proudly. I voted no on Prop 8.

Comparisons are easily done, once you've had a taste of perfection
