The point I'm trying to make is, I'm really quite neutral. I have not been conditioned.

I wasn't playing a drag queen - I was playing an extraordinary performer.

I really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.

I never grew up with a mother's hand - that's why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.

I have not lived so abundantly, full of family, full of continuity and history.

I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.

I know people look at me and try to make conclusions about me immediately, based on the obvious, let's say.

A crack on the road does not terminate the journey

I would not vote for the mayor. It's not just because he didn't invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.

The people are angry. It's running out of control. And unfortunately, there are a group of police that have become nothing more than enforcers for the political and financial crime bosses.

There are some things we should feel guilty about, but the guilt feelings should attach to the deed, not to the doer.

Just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there.

I'm now convinced that I'm a doctor. I mean, if someone says they have a pain, I'm like, 'Well, that's your spleen.'

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

The Limbaugh Theorem was not about me giving me credit for something. It was simply sharing with you when the light went off.

Not trying is the surest way of achieving nothing at all.

I can't handle the paparazzi. They're everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy!
