“Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What’s the line? I don’t have a line. ”

“I just I felt like a freak, I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can create their own space in the world”

“A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.”

“I hate the truth so much that i'd rather have a giant dose of bulls**t anyday”

“I would rather die than have my fans see me without a pair of heels on. And that's show business.”

“I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.”

“I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.”
