Crying is not a weakness. It's something that should be able to work for you. It should also be a strength. I think if you can cry when you feel like crying it's a strength. If you feel like crying and you can't cry, that's a weakness. That means you're holding all that stuff inside.
You can be a boy, a girl, whatever you want. I have a lot of man in me.
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.
I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.
Survival is my primary instinct...it's out of my control. It's stronger than me. It's an outside force, a voice that says 'do this for your life or it will devour you.'
Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.
If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.
I always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it's like you're opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don't know who's going to come in that door.
I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.
I'm too vain, one of my biggest sins, but it saved me; I can see what excess does.
This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking
We're not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
Most performers take themselves too seriously. They forget there is a difference between the characters they play on the screen or stage and themselves, but the public doesn't forget there is a difference. They see how silly it is if you try to be the same person all the time.
