I was very much a daddy's girl, and was pretty tyrannical when he was sleeping. If I could get into trouble, I would. I didn't have a lot of respect for those people because I saw a lot of debauchery and decadence going on. People trying to hid it from me, but I was onto them.

It's rewarding in that I can hold my head up a little higher because people are not just looking at me because of my marriages or the tabloids or because of my lineage. A lot of times people like the music. It's much more gratifying than being stared at for being an animal in a cage.

answers devil explains figure follow
Scientology explains to me the answers to life, the mind, people, insanity, man, in a way that, to me, is applicable. It doesn't use fear, or suppression or the devil - it's not repressive.
