My goal is to be myself, and to challenge stereotypes, and to follow the rules, and break them, and make new rules. It's not about doing something that's already been done. That would be silly.

I have a very eclectic group of fans. I have fans that love me for me and who have never even seen my adult work. They just like my music, or they just like me.

There are so many aspects of human sexuality that we're afraid to talk about, because people still don't understand it. It's not just black and white, you know?

Americans give you the violence, Europeans give you the sex. I think people have been saying that since the 70s. And I think it's kind of pathetic that Americans are still stuck - on the shock value of violence, when sex is such a natural thing for everybody.

My goals are to continue acting and also to produce some independent films in the next few years. Music is a passion of mine, so I also want to continue along that path, creating with my friends.

When I run into disappointment - say, for example, not getting a role I'd hoped for - I just try not to take it personally.

People can dress you the way they want, they can do your makeup the way they want, but they can never take away your voice.
