I've never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I'm 35, which I'm not, and have them say, 'Oh that's nice,' when I could tell them I'm 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, 'Whoa!'. I'm not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.

I've been famous for a long, long time. So I don't think of it - I think of it very differently. It's the normal temperature of my room.

At first it was exhilarating but when I realized it wasn't going away, it became scary and claustrophobic. Fame is a weird thing.

India has an enormous amount of AIDS awareness.

I like to be treated as a lady.

After I was really unhappy and unhealthy, I think it dawned on me to stop doing the unhappy, unhealthy things.

There was a point in my 40s when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, 'I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way that I look right now.'
