There are some people in this world that believe being gay is a choice. It's not a choice, we're born this way.

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.

I know people said I wasn't selling out in America, but that was entirely untrue. We sold out all over the world, and every night I looked out into the fans and those front rows that you're talking about, the tears, the honesty, the inability to not be completely overjoyed because they felt accepted.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

I'm always on the market for a new friend, period. As your success continues to grow, you start to see who your real friends are. But I'm always looking for wonderful people to have in my life that have no agenda and aren't fake friends.

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.
