My father had to go to work, I used to think he was a jerk. I didn't know his heart was broken, and not another word was spoken.

I worked for everything that I got and I worked long and hard before I got to this point so when I got it I thought I deserve it.

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.

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

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.

We've made so many advances in other areas - civil rights, gay rights - but ageism is still an area that's taboo and not talked about and dealt with.

If you have an opinion and people disagree with you, you might not get a job. You might be blacklisted. You might have fewer followers on Instagram.
