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've slept with Prince.

I think that life is a paradox and you have to embrace that in your work and your belief systems... You can't be a literalist, and that's the trouble that people always find themselves in. That's why people always hit a wall with any of my stuff, because you can't take it literally.

The only way I've been able to survive the betrayal of lovers, family members, and society is to be able to create as an artist.

It doesn't matter who you are, it's what you do that takes you far.

Beauty is where you find it.

I hope I will always have the ability to create art and live in a world where I can speak freely, and I can inspire people. I don't know what form that will take.
