I believe women should own their sexuality and sexual expression.

I keep telling everyone that I want to start a revolution but no one is taking me seriously. If I had black skin and an afro, would you take me seriously? If I was an Arab waving a hand grenade, would you take me seriously?

I don't have a religion because I don't like that word religion.

I wouldn't live in Chicago cause it's too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there.

I think for the most part men have always been the aggressors sexually. Through time immemorial they've always been in control. So I think sex is equated with power in a way, and that's scary in a way. It's scary for men that women would have that power, and I think it's scary for women to have that power - or to have that power and be sexy at the same time.

I don't like guys my age because they are normally either married or divorced and grumpy, fat and balding.

I panic every time I put out a record. I think every artist does.
