Janis Joplin

I'm one of those regular weird people.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
