I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.

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

If I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their 50s or their 60s as they were in their 20s, then so be it.

When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.

I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees. I ran and I ran, I was looking for me.

I think it's just that as a creative person, in all the different things that I've done or ways that I've found to express myself, I've consistently come up against resistance in certain areas. I think that the world is not comfortable with female sexuality. It's always coming from a male point of view, and a woman is being objectified by a man - and even women are comfortable with that. But when a woman does it, ironically, women are uncomfortable with it. I think a lot of that has to do with conditioning.

I am a survivor. I am like a cockroach, you just can't get rid of me.
