Madness is a prerequisite of being in showbusiness.

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.
