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.

If I could make anything disappear, it would be hate.

Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it - my music, I know I will live forever.

No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night.

I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art.

I would like to understand my father.

I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre. But when you grow up, like I did, in front of 100 million people since the age of 5, you're automatically different.
