I am attracted to a thug. I like that quality, but I like the other side of it, too. Because all guys who go around behaving in macho ways are really scared little girls. So you have to look beneath the surface. There's a difference between my ideal man and a man that I'm sexually attracted to, believe me. Therein lies the rub.

If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.

I try to have thick skin, but every once in a while I read something that someone says about me, and it's so slanderous and moralistic and it has nothing to do with my music.

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

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better. Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away

Straight men need to be emasculated.... Every straight guy should have a man's tongue in his mouth at least once.

I love being photographed, or I should say I love the art of photography. It's about people taking photographs of you, stealing them, and then presuming or assuming or captioning. Words can never be taken back, photographs can never be taken back, nothing can ever be taken back.
