I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it.
Being hot never hurts!
I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.
The only person I really believe in is me.
I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all.
New York has always been a city of change and a city about change, and it is a back-leading development. Nobody's going to want to come to New York if it looks like another strip mall.
I could be a housewife... I guess I've vacuumed a couple of times.
If I were to do a foundation, it would be to promote solar energy. And I'm worried about drilling for oil. I think it is harming the earth, 'cos it drains the layer of oil under the surface, and that could be causing earthquakes. It's like we're giving the earth arthritis. I don't know if that sounds crazy.
Capote wrote every day. He said that's the only way, you have to sit down every day and do it.
I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.
The word 'iconic' is used too frequently - an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it's impossible to live up to - you're supposed to be dead, for one thing.
Music is wonderful. Especially if there's some kind of content to it.
I feel like I have to have a voice.
I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.
Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
You always fall for the rascal or the guy who's got a little bit of the devil in him. You can't help it.
Christina Aguilera is an incredible musician and singer.
And I wasn't convinced that I was the most talented person in the world.
And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.
I really, really like writing songs.
