In our house we don't use words like "despise" and 'hate,' we say "strongly dislike."

I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.

In the end, by having a point of view, by taking a stand for things you believe in, you're ultimately always going to offend people. That's good. It's certainly more important to take a stand on some thing and offend people, than to be careful all of your life and have everyone approve of what you do. Or, as my psychiatrist likes to say, better to live one year as a tiger than 100 as a sheep.

I went to New York. I had a dream. I wanted to be a big star, I didn’t know anybody, I wanted to dance, I wanted to sing, I wanted to do all those things, I wanted to make people happy, I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

I'm sure other people have a very strange view of my lifestyle.

One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.

Because I've taken my clothes off in public doesn't mean that I've revealed every inch of my soul.
