My background sets me apart. I've never been able to relate to many people. I've always been the outcast child.

The trapeze was my first love. To me, it's normal. It's all I've ever known.

You should hear what my parents wanted to call me. It was between Brown Rice, Neon Hitch and Z. Ziggurat Zanzibar Zandorf. I'm not joking. Imagine fitting that on my passport!

I don't believe in trying to be somebody you're not - just be a bigger, better version of yourself.

I don't follow the rules. That's kind of how I do everything.

I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.

I have a little gypsy palace here in New York. It's all mirrors, and I have my own garden. It's so secluded - the closest thing to a caravan I could find!

Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.

The Beatles are my number one - I think everything they did was amazing!

As for today's music, Nicki Minaj is killing it. She's an amazing artist.

My family traveled with a whole community to European festivals. My mum did gymnastics, freak show performances, and swung fire in the circus, so I followed her footsteps.

Writing is a form of running away. Running away to a place you made by your own hand.

They tell each other what they are thinking. But there is no reason to believe anything they say.

People must understand that science is inherently neither a potential for good nor for evil. It is a potential to be harnessed by man to do his bidding.

Kids aint supposed to be grateful! They're supposed to eat your food, break your heart.

We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions

I got a nice jumper on me, and i'm not just bragging.

Much of our adult morality, in books and out of them, has a stuffiness unworthy of childhood. Our grown-up conclusions often rest on perilously soft bottom.

The more I've acted, I've realised that I have a) no control of and b) no way of really quite understanding how people react to anything I do, or any movie I do.

In Europe you can be Sophia, you can be these older women who are considered very sexy.

Don't fix me; Love me for what's broken.
