[George Michael] is a great songwriter and he makes very classy videos, like me.

There's a certain satisfaction in a little bit of pain.

Everyone went out and bought Sex, it was sold out in two seconds. And then everybody slagged me off. That, to me is a statement of the hypocrisy of the world that we live in. The fact that everybody is so interested in sex but won't admit it.

I used to believe in the pretty pictures that were all around me, but now I know for sure that I was stupid.

I believe women should own their sexuality and sexual expression.

I wanted to know why people follow rules blindly, or why girls had to act a certain way and boys didn't. Why could boys ask girls out and girls not ask guys out? Why did girls have to shave their legs and guys didn't? Why did society, like, set everything up the way they did? My whole adolescence was full of unanswered whys. Because they never got answered, I just kept lighting fires everywhere - metaphorically speaking.

I think there probably was a time when I was less provocative. That's when I was married.
