I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.
I feel that when two people are married - not that you have to totally give up your career - you have to spend time with one another, get to know each other more, just share things with each other.
Recording is more autobiographical than acting. It's me - either how I'm feeling then or once felt at some point in my life. It's all me.
I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false.
I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.
I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.
I can't believe people got so upset at the sight of a single breast! America is so parochial, I may just have to move to Europe where people are more mature about things like that!
To have someone to relate to and hopefully enjoy the music and get a positive message out of it, to make the best music that we possibly could, those were the goals.
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
When I do get married again, I'm just going to take time off.
It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.
You don't know how many people come up to me and say, 'This child was conceived listening to you.'
Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my feelings. Singing and dancing and all the joy that goes with performing come from my heart. If I can't feel it, I won't do it.
