I had to dance topless for two years to make cash to pay my bills and save some money. But it was very enlightening, by the way. I'm talking about light from the gutter.

My father instilled in me that if you don't see things happening the way you want them to, you get out there and make them happen.

Food = joy ... guilt ... anger ... pain ... nurturing ... friendship ... hatred ... the way you look and feel.... Food = everything you can imagine.

I'm not a role model to my kids. They're a role model to me.

If you want a higher power, go to the goddamn sun. Just go to the sun - and stop destroying the ozone layer.

I don't value authority. I don't value the systems. I don't value patriarchal religion. I don't value the things that diminish you when you do tell the truth. So I'm not scared of the end result, and that is the biggest asset I have.

I've been fit and I've been fat, and fit is better.
