Sexy doesn't have to come with the price tag of being dumb.

I look at Willow and she's so naughty and fiery, and I'm not going to take any of her fierceness personally - my mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me. And that's something I want to post on every mirror in my house: This is not about you!

I'm very involved with PETA - People for Ethical Treatment of Animals - and Greenpeace and a lot of women's shelter and clothing giveaways.

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl.

When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.
