views years people
I'm a sexual person. A lot of different people turn me on and have over the years, and I've always wanted to make it very clear that this was not coming from some sort of antimale point of view.
people feel-good thank-god
When I was really little, I was skinny and people laughed at me for being skinny, so, we all pay our dues for the bodies we're in one way or another. But thank god I haven't needed to alter it to feel good about myself.
night rocks people
I feel like you've gotta be able to get up every night in front of a live audience. Whether it's 10 people or 50 people or a hundred people, whether you're in a rock band or doing the comedy circuit.
eye responsibility people
I try to avoid people's eyes because I don't like to get that intimate with just anybody. i don't need the responsibility.
wings giving people
Things are so scary and intimidating with AIDS and the right wing that people are looking for somebody to just give them safe harbors.
sacrifice people comfort
Morality is standing by your friends, standing by people when it's not popular. It's sacrificing things on a big international stage, and sometimes it's sacrificing your basic comforts.
eye careers people
I've always loved being at the eye of the storm creatively with people that I find exciting and glamorous. So sometimes I got sidetracked in my career and maybe I would have done more TV or film.
flower thinking people
I think people are a little bit intimidated by me. You know, I'm not exactly a wilting flower, so I think they're a little bit scared of me sometimes.
school people trying
I didn't belong when I was in high school. Now people are trying to buy lips.
emotional thinking people
I tend to go against the grain because when I start to see that everybody's trying to shock, I try not to. I just do stuff that's subtler, more emotional, and I think that shocks people.
people levels pay
When people pay to see you live, they connect with you on a much deeper level than people who just buy your records.
believe people privacy
I believe in people living their lives and having privacy.
dream integrity people
That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.
names voice people
People feel like if they don't have a voice or a name or the spotlight, then they're invisible. But if you can't wake up in your world, in your life, with your family and your friends, and enjoy it, then forget it. All bets are off, because that's all anybody is guaranteed.
