I've been practicing yoga very seriously for a little over a year and I believe that helped my voice and affected my singing.

I am attracted to a thug. I like that quality, but I like the other side of it, too. Because all guys who go around behaving in macho ways are really scared little girls. So you have to look beneath the surface. There's a difference between my ideal man and a man that I'm sexually attracted to, believe me. Therein lies the rub.

Beauty's where you find it; not just where you bump and grind it.

I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.

I was thinking about dying the other day the death thought came while I was sitting on the toilet peeing - that's where I have my most contemplative thoughts.

Because I've taken my clothes off in public doesn't mean that I've revealed every inch of my soul.

What I find really astonishing is how quiet everybody is in my industry. I mean, nobody in the entertainment business except for maybe a handful of people ever speak out about what's going on. Nobody takes a political stance or expresses an opinion.
