I don't like people who hide things. We're not perfect, we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
