That's What I Mean About Catholicism - Your Sexual Life Is Supposed To Be Dead If You're A Good Catholic. That's Wrong. It's Human Nature To Be Sexual, So Why Would God Want You To Deny Your Human Nature?

I Hadn't Been Onstage In A While. The Last Time Was Pre-children. And Before I Went On [at Roseland], My Kids Were Backstage, And I Thought, This Isn't How I Usually Do It.

And I'm Thinking, Okay, I'm Gonna Go Out And Do A Show And I'm Gonna Be Superwoman! But I'm Not Really, `cause I'm A Mom. It's All Very Strange.

I'm Constantly Exploring Spirituality, Sexuality, Different Aspects Of Love, Whether It's Romantic Love Or The Love You Have For Your Children. And Love Can Be As Devastating And Destructive As It Can Be Rejuvenating And Life-giving. I Guess I Try To Capture All Of That.

I Want People To Be Moved, To Feel Called To Action. That's What I Want To Do.

Say Hello To Your Life.

Inspirational Life

It's Not Enough To Raise Awareness. You Have To Give People Solutions, And You Have To Invite Them To Get Involved In Whatever Way They Can, Whether That's Doing Volunteer Work Or Taking A Portion Of Their Salary And Figuring Out Where They Want That Money To Go. You Have To Find Ways To Inspire People To Get Involved.

Romance Should Be Spontaneous, But In My Career I'm Totally In Control.

Asking Questions

There's No Greater Power Than The Power Of Good-bye.

In England Especially, I've Found That If You Bring Up King Edward Viii And Wallis Simpson At A Dinner Party Or A Social Gathering, It's Like Throwing A Molotov Cocktail Into The Room.

Molotov Cocktail

Some People Out There Think Everything I Do Is A Publicity Stunt, They Think When I Go To The Bathroom It's A Publicity Stunt.

I Think That Its An Artist's Responsibility To Have A Point Of View. Society Takes Its Cue From Popular Art. People Need Something To Look To, Something To Provoke Them Into Questioning Whether They Completely Hate Something Or Completely Love Something.

I Don't Believe There's A Certain Age Where You Can't Say And Feel And Be Who You Want To Be.

Not Only Do We Suffer From Racism And Sexism, But We Also Suffer From Ageism. And That Is That Once You Reach A Certain Age, You're Not Allowed To Be Adventurous, You're Not Allowed To Be Sexual And I Think That's Rather Hideous. [...] I Mean, Is There A Rule? Are You Just Supposed To Die When You're 40?

Strong Women Leave Big Hickies

Making Records Is Not How It Used To Be! #stillwerking

Everyone Has A Self-destructive Nature In Them. It's Whether You Feed It Or Not. You Don't Have To Be A Pop Star To Feel Connected To Destruction Or Self-destruction. But Self-destruction Is Self-obsession, And Self-obsession Is Not Really Possible If You're Engaged In Raising Children. And If You Have A Spiritual Life, You're Constantly Being Asked To See Yourself As One Small Fragment In The Bigger Picture.

I'll Flirt With Anyone From Garbagemen To Grandmothers.

I Worked For Everything That I Got And I Worked Long And Hard Before I Got To This Point So When I Got It I Thought I Deserve It.

I Felt Very Awkward And Out Of Place In School. Not Popular, Not Attractive, Not Special In Any Way And I Was Longing For Love And Approval From Someone.

I Was More Of A Dancing Kid Than A Singing Kid. I Mean, I Sang In School Choirs And I Sang In School Musicals, But I Was Much More Interested In Dancing Than Singing.

Education Is Not A Luxury, It Is A Basic Human Right.

I Think In The End, When You're Famous, People Like To Narrow You Down To A Few Personality Traits. I Think I've Just Become This Ambitious, Say-whatever's-on-her-mind, Intimidating Person. And That's Part Of My Personality, But It's Certainly Not Anywhere Near The Whole Thing.

Life And Love Inspire Me. I Think Reinventing Yourself Is Vital To Your Survival As An Artist And A Human Being. I Know It’s Cliché To Say About Me At This Point, But It’s True. My Curiosity Definitely Is The Driving Force In My Life And Career. When You Stop Learning, Engaging And Growing, You’re Dead.

Every Actor Wants To Get Their Two Cents In About A Scene At The End Of The Day.

I've Had So Many Challenges Throughout My Career, However Successful People Perceive Me To Be.

I Don't Affiliate Myself With Any Specific Religious Group. I Connect To Different Ritualistic Aspects Of Different Belief Systems, And I See The Connecting Thread Between All Religious Beliefs.

I Think It's Just That As A Creative Person, In All The Different Things That I've Done Or Ways That I've Found To Express Myself, I've Consistently Come Up Against Resistance In Certain Areas. I Think That The World Is Not Comfortable With Female Sexuality. It's Always Coming From A Male Point Of View, And A Woman Is Being Objectified By A Man - And Even Women Are Comfortable With That. But When A Woman Does It, Ironically, Women Are Uncomfortable With It. I Think A Lot Of That Has To Do With Conditioning.

When You're Writing Something And You Know It's Good, You Get Flushed, You Can Feel The Blood Coursing Through Your Veins, You Feel Alive, All Your Nerve Endings Stand Up, Something Just Clicks.

To Be Brave Is To Love Unconditionally Without Expecting Anything In Return.

The Worst Thing About Being Famous? I Think It's What Everybody Says.. The Lack Of Privacy And The Idea That You're Not Really Allowed To Make Mistakes And Everything That You Do Is Viewed Under A Microscope.

When I Get Down On My Knees, It Is Not To Pray.

I Like Film Soundtracks. I Like The Soundtracks Better Than The Movies.

Who Needs The Sun, When The Rain Is So Full Of Life?

My Favorite Scene That I Ever Filmed Was Singing "don't Cry For Me Argentina" From The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada In Argentina [where The Real Eva Peron Once Stood] During Evita. That Was Amazing. So Real And Surreal. Bizarre.

Economic Markets Are Collapsing. People All Over The World Are Suffering And People Afraid. What Happens When Peep Are Afraid? They Become Intolerant.

Sure, Having My Pictures Taken In The Nude And Doing Things That I Did Got Me In The Door But It Didn't Keep Me In The Room. To Have Lasted As Long As I've Lasted, Obviously, I Have To Have Something More Going For Me.

My Daughter Has A Problem Picking Things Up In Her Room. So If You Leave Your Clothes On The Floor, So If You Leave Your Clothes On The Floor, They're Gone When You Come Home.

I Like To Change. A New Lamp, A Piece Of Art, Can Transform A Room.

It Is Difficult To Believe In A Religion That Places Such A High Premium On Chastity And Virginity.

One Is That We Are All Responsible For Our Actions, Our Behavior, And Our Words, And We Must Take Responsibility For Everything We Say And Do. I Am The Architect Of My Destiny. You Can`t Blame Other People For Things That Happened To You.

I've Slept With Prince.

I Don't Want No Lies, I Don't Watch Tv. I Don't Waste My Time, Won't Read A Magazine.

Britney Spears Became My Talisman. I Became Obsessed With Wearing Britney T-shirts. I Felt It Would Bring Me Luck. And It Did.
