My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.
I'm not going to get into the writer's skills or what he was trying to portray because that's not fair. I can only say what I felt was trying to be portrayed there.
I smoked some pot as a kid, but I just never did drugs.
If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process.
Plus, I am paranoid by nature. I need to be in control.
I have to be very careful about diet and exercise.
I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself.
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.
By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.
I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people's presence within that. There's some people you enjoy watching more than others.
All you needed back then was a blow dryer and a dream.
The men were all scumbags, but the whole point of the film is to show the development of that. Each guy is going in there to have a good time. By and large, these men are career men, family men, and you just see the deterioration of them.
This is one hell of a business I picked to be in.
So when I'm working out I do things extreme.
I started working out with a trainer and I immediately saw results.
I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.
And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.
Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.
Creating a character and living truthfully through her is a whole different ball game. It's all part of the same person but it's a much newer medium for me.
I'm sure I'm perceived in a more glam way. This is my breakout if you will.
