I wanted to do it my way with my career, and I had this arrogant notion that people weren't just interested in my music but me as a person. That was my bit of arrogance, I guess. That's something I learned from Madonna. I was a fan right from the first time I heard 'Holiday.'
When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.
I sing my life. It's like I'm having group therapy 350 days a year, and the people who come to the show get that, and they're there for that - whether it's to be lifted up, or to be lifted out, or just entertained or inspired, or to feel not so alone.
I was a very defensive kid 'cause I was really sensitive underneath and didn't want people to know. So I came off as very tough and very angry.
People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me.
A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.
I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.
I'm very involved with PETA - People for Ethical Treatment of Animals - and Greenpeace and a lot of women's shelter and clothing giveaways.
The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.
I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.
I just get bored easily. As I'm sure other people do too.
It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.
I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I'm not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring people together, Other times it just takes music.
