My mum's advice is never to whine to my friends, so they never see the other side of me. I save all my problems for my mother.

I bought a pair of Birkenstocks today - let's be real. I wanted a chunky sandal that was functional. That should tell you where I am at as far as fashion.

I do a dance-based cardio workout infused with circuit training, and emphasizing strength and alignment.

I'm single, so I'm trying to do an overall overhaul. The look I'm going for is very '80s supermodel. It's time to be sexy.

I'm a sucker for packaging!

As of late, I am more of a homebody. I like having people over. You can smoke in the apartment. I'm just not into going out so much. The crowd is getting younger and younger.

New York is so diverse. When you're on the street or in the subway, you're experiencing more of the diversity of New York.

It's like you always have to put on a happy face, be the phony baloney, and I'm so not that. I never was that; I'll never be that. That is part of the business that I don't like.

Why is it parents think they help their kids by pretending things are better than they are?

It wasn't enough to be kidnapped, I had to be insulted too.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It's not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.

I have heard of a man who had a mind to sell his house, and therefore carried a piece of brick in his pocket, which he shewed as a pattern to encourage purchasers.

As you get older, you shouldn't waste time drinking bad wine.

If you're wearing a pair of shoes that's a little flashy, then it's important not to be flashy up top and vice versa.

In America, freedom and justice have always come from the ballot box, the jury box, and when that fails, the cartridge box.

If I keep breathing, then I have to keep living, and if I keep living, then I have to keep hurting, and I can't - not like this.

Basically, for me the psychedelic experience was the path to revelation. It actually worked on somebody who thought nothing would work.

It was an arranged marriage, put together by drugs and alcohol.
