I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.
I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.
Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
I only move forwards, never backwards, darling.
Hiding, secrets, and not being able to be yourself is one of the worst things ever for a person. It gives you low self-esteem. You never get to reach that peak in your life. You should always be able to be yourself and be proud of yourself.
I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.
For me, a diva is like the great opera singer, the great film star - out of reach, in their own world, with a real gift for invention: attention-demanding performance artists with a flamboyant, compelling sense of their own importance so special and inimitable it verges on the alien.
I'm not a rock star; I'm a soft person.
Use, don't abuse.
One creates oneself.
I feel feminine when I feel feminine. I feel masculine when I feel masculine. I am a role switcher.
Normally, I stay away from politics - unless I'm going to run for president.
When I perform on stage I become those male bullies, those dominators from my childhood. That's probably why it's so scary, because they scared me.
I have been so copied by those people who have made fortunes that people assume I am that rich. But I did things for the excitement, the dare, the fact that it was new, not for the money. And too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.
I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.
I don't party now, and nobody really knows how to party with me anymore. So I stay in a lot. I really am a home person.
There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven't got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday's event.
If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.
I'm not as impatient as I used to be. I used to hit people if I didn't like what they were saying. Just lash out. 'Bam - shut up! Hahahah!' I was terrible.
