I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building.

People have this idea that if you're sexual and beautiful and provocative, then there's nothing else you could possibly offer.

The physical body is assembled just like a chair or a building or a flower, but the revolutions we start, the people we affect and inspire, that is eternal. So, in that respect, we do achieve immortality, and that makes me less fearful.

Power is a great aphrodisiac and I am a very powerful person

I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.

I see a huge paradox in me - the intense need to be loved and the search for approval juxtaposed with the need to nurture other people, to be the mother I never had.

I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.
