Alanis Morissette

I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.

I have not an ounce of regret. Every link is so valuable in forming the chain that is my life. Who I am today is because of those links, and I wouldn't change any of them.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.

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

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

I think that the power of the Silent Minute lies in its inherent lack of external direction: what participants actually do during that minute - prayer, contemplation, focus - is up to them.
