I hadn't been onstage in a while. The last time was pre-children. And before I went on [at Roseland], my kids were backstage, and I thought, This isn't how I usually do it. I've got kids, and I'm thinking, This is weird. It's weird juggling children on your knee while you're in your rhinestone outfit. And I'm thinking, Okay, I'm gonna go out and do a show and I'm gonna be Superwoman! But I'm not really, `cause I'm a mom. It's all very strange.

I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'

You didn't understand or care to know, you get your education from your lovers.

May the angels protect you, and sadness forget you.

I always felt like I was a freak when I was growing up and that there was something wrong with me because I couldn't fit in anywhere.

I was sacked from Dunkin' Donuts for squirting the donuts jelly all over the customers.

Life's too short to be bitter, I'm too short to be bitter.
