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.

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!

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

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.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

To rise above the conflicting desires of others, there must be no conflict about your own.

We are inspired by the God that we see in others and suddenly we find ourselves changing. We find ourselves giving more. We find that our lives become rather amazingly beautiful.

A stronger yuan could lead to greater Chinese asset accumulation in the U.S. and elsewhere.

A political society does not live to conduct foreign policy; it would be more correct to say that it conducts foreign policy in order to live.

Neither smiles nor frowns, neither good intentions nor harsh words, are a substitute for strength.

Be happy, honey. No one deserves it more. But don't forget... I'm keeping one little piece of your heart for myself. And if you ever want it back.. .you know where to find it.

I am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.

True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.

My life is short. I can't listen to banality.
