I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that.

I think I had a lot of bad hair moments. In the early 80's just sometimes I wore purple lipstick or green lipstick.

I went to New York. I had a dream. I wanted to be a big star, I didn’t know anybody, I wanted to dance, I wanted to sing, I wanted to do all those things, I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say 'no'

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

Believing in yourself and being willing to do anything, to walk through the fire, to do what it is that you want to do. Getting out of that car accident covered with blood to play the gig . . . I mean, that's me. That's just me.

I don't trust any man who hasn't kissed another man.
