I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.
I'm in the business where you get the business all the time.
I wouldn't record any song that I didn't like.
I don't have good business sense. You never get much money for the arts. But I like independence. I like to grow.
Everyone—whether straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender—should be allowed to show their true colors, and be accepted and loved for who they are.
When I sing I don't feel like it's me. I feel I am fabulous, like I'm 10 feet tall. I am the greatest. I am the strongest. I am Samson. I'm whoever I want to be.

My torso is short, but my arms are really long and gangly and my legs and my neck, and my feet and hands are really long, and I look like a duck.
