The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me - from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life.

I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.

I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff.

I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.

I'm not interested in people positioning me next to other artists.

What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope. It is not a reflection of all religious people.

I like pushing boundaries.
