To be brave is to love unconditionally without expecting anything in return.

Hollywood is about playing the game, and I can't think of any successful actresses who didn't play the game. There's a lot more renegades in the music business, from Patti Smith to Janis Joplin.

Publicly humiliating someone for your own gain will only come and haunt you. God's going to have his revenge.

When I first moved to New York I wanted to be a dancer, I danced professionally for years, living a hand-to-mouth existence.

I like pushing the envelope. But I don't like to do it just for the sake of doing it.

Just because I'm presented life in a certain way doesn't mean I do all these things. It's just something I choose to express.

I hope I will always have the ability to create art and live in a world where I can speak freely, and I can inspire people. I don't know what form that will take.
