I'm not a terrible smoker, actually. My major addiction, which is horrible, is straight boys.

And I am left behind Corrupted crushed and blind All for a dream That in truth was never really mine.

Everything I do, I feel is genius. Whether it is or it isn't.

You had to be an over-the-top, demanding, dramatic figure in order to progress as a woman in Europe over the last few hundred years. Now people say, "You're being such a prima donna," meaning you're being hard to deal with or crazy. It's a bit sexist.

I believe a lot of our lives are spent asleep, and what I've been trying to do is hold on to those moments when a little spark cuts through the fog and nudges you.

I have earned hundreds of thousands of pounds, but I can't seem to get to grips with money.

Certainly in terms of my life - anybody's life - you go through death, childbirth and marriage, glory and defeat, and so on.
