A confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.

The movie I've seen a million times is 'Steel Magnolias,' directed by Herbert Ross, starring Sally Field and Julia Roberts.

Hip-hop definitely taught me a lot. Having to create your own identity and become known and respected in a male-dominated field - it requires some guts. There are times you have to be strong, and times when you have to stand alone for what you believe in.

To me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year’s Eve in San Francisco.

Even if you don't have anything, even if you've got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.

You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.
