Everyone is entitled to my opinion

When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.

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.

We all fall to the floor at some point. It's how you pick yourself up that's the real challenge. Isn't it?

I know there's a lot of competition in the world of magazines and newspapers and we have to make headlines and be sensational and sell, and saying bad things about me is going to sell more papers than writing good things about me.

I miss New York. I still love how people talk to you on the street - just assault you and tell you what they think of your jacket.

When you're 25, it's a little bit easier to be daring, especially if you are a pop star, because eccentric behavior is expected from you.
