I love John Waters. You see, I want to be the next Divine.

The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up.

And I like the way Cain writes his women. Very strong. They're kind of lusty, they know what they want, they're full of conviction. Cain's women are sexual.

I'm just not comfortable with that society stuff. I mean, we were just invited to the White House, but my husband won't take me because he knows I don't want to go.

In a way, my past gives me a little credibility. Not that anybody cares what I did nineteen years ago, but I did have a career, and a legitimate one, before I met my husband.

Film, I think, is my medium.

I like to see love stories: romantic comedy or romantic drama.

I can buy and sell any of these people who are always criticizing me.

I don't like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot.

It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.

... we see the poor as a mass of shadow, painted in one flat grey wash, at the remote edges of our sunshine.

There is no greater thing than standing victorious in the arena.

Success is my drug of choice.

The problem is people become so angry. And they become so vicious.

God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.

I was reared in a Jehovah's Witness household. I was taught that every man should be judged by his deeds and not his color, and I firmly stand where my grandmother left me.

At home I was raped by a guy i thought I loved' Trixie said, because thats what it was to her and always would be.

If a woman isn't being hazed, she's not being tested; therefore, she is not being trusted.
