In this business, my business, I get to meet all kinds of incredible people, fascinating people, glamorous people and sexy people and highly intellectual people. And you meet them and you go 'interesting, interesting, interesting'. They're interesting, but not very many people stop you in your tracks.
I think there probably was a time when I was less provocative. That's when I was married.
I am the result of the good choices I've made and the bad choices.
I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful.
Things were a lot simpler in Detroit. I didn't care about anything but boyfriends.

I'm not interested in being Wonder Woman in the delivery room. Give me drugs.

I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.
