You reach a certain point in your 30s when you say things in a much safer way.

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.

I don't think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.

When you're collaborating with somebody who's got a lot of stuff they haven't worked out yet, you're working out their vision as well.

There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.

I'm a sexual person. A lot of different people turn me on and have over the years, and I've always wanted to make it very clear that this was not coming from some sort of antimale point of view.

I tend to go against the grain because when I start to see that everybody's trying to shock, I try not to. I just do stuff that's subtler, more emotional, and I think that shocks people.
