I truly love my fans. Truly, truly from the heart. That's the real truth. I love them.

I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

Before you judge me, ask me about my childhood. And I will ask you about yours.

I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.

I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak.

I can tell you there are rewards that go far beyond money and public acclaim and awards.

I love to accent movement. The eye goes to where the white is - you know, the glove. And the feet, if you're dancing, you can put an exclamation point on your movement if it has a bit of light on it. So I wore the white socks. And for the design of the jacket, I would sit with the people who made the clothes and tell them where I wanted a button or a buckle or a design.
