Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.

It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.

Amy [Winehouse] changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.

I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don't live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans.

When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.

I've had grand pianos that are more expensive than, like, a year's worth of rent.

In my work and what I do, I am Queen of the Universe every day!
