Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.

As artists, we are eternally heartbroken.

I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.

I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.

I study everything that I do to become better all the time at my craft. The beauty for me about being an artist is that the dream will never die because I'm not obsessed with material things and don't care about the money and don't care about the attention of the public but only the love of my fans. For me it's about keeping the dream alive of how much more devoted, how much more honest, how much better of an artist can I become? That's the only fear that I ever have, that the dream will die.

I actually don't want a throne at all, because I don't view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.
