If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

I have nothing to complain about.. except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can be butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.

From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.

I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.

You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.

A love where no one gets hurt doesn't exist.

There should ne’er be a timeWhen a duty or dimeDoth outshineThe importance of family.

The best revenge is massive success.

That was very close to getting killed. Usually at pop festivals we have people jumping on stage.

Bliss cannot be found by remembering the past or anticipating the future.

In love, 'tis no other than frantic desire for that which flies from us.

Every generation blames the generation before them.

But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name.

What is the next thing you need for leadership? It is the ability to make up your mind to make a decision and accept full responsibility for that decision.
