I never had any dates. I never really had any boyfriends. I was the girl who did the guys' homework. I was really crazy about guys but I was always like one of the boys. The guys I always fell in love with were completely inaccessible.

People came at me with all sorts of offers, wanting to make me into a hard-core Cher. I had no desire for any amount of money to be reformed for someone's vision, because in the end, that's what you got: your clay in someone else's hands.

I imagined myself as Frida to Diego, both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.

Sometimes I get lost in watching a film. The sorrow, or the frustration, is when it doesn't happen for a long time.

A lullaby should be timeless because it's a timeless concept - the birth of the child.

I personally am not interested in people trying to pigeonhole me.

You can't work on that scale without trust. I learned that from working with Robert Mapplethorpe.
