Being Blonde Is Definitely A Different State Of Mind. I Can't Really Put My Finger On It, But The Artifice Of Being Blonde Has Some Incredible Sort Of Sexual Connotation. Men Really Respond To It. I Love Blonde Hair But It Really Does Something Different To You. I Feel More Grounded When I Have Dark Hair, And I Feel More Ethereal When I Have Light Hair. It's Unexplainable. I Also Feel More Italian When My Hair Is Dark.

For Me, A Male Image That I'm Really Moved By Is Somewhere Between Of Oscar Wilde Type Of A Male: The Fop, The Long Hair, The Suits, Too Witty For His Own Good, Incredibly Smart, Scathingly Funny - All That.

No One Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself. Do The Thing You Want. Don't Wait For Someone Else

There Is Order In The Universe, Even Though It Looks Like Chaos. We Separate The World Into Categories: This Is Good And This Is Bad. But Life Is Set Up To Trick Us. It's A Series Of Illusions We Invest In. And Ultimately Those Investments Don't Serve Our Understanding, Because Physicality Is Always Going To Let You Down, Because Physicality Doesn't Last.

I've Been Inspired By Films Since I Started Dancing, And I'm Married To A Filmmaker, And I Think It Was One Of My Secret Desires, But I Was Afraid To Just Say, 'i Want To Be A Director'. But Then One Day I Said, O.k., Stop Dreaming And Do It. But I Didn't Want To Do It The Hollywood Way, And Talk Through Agents. I Decided It All Had To Be Generated By Me, So I Wrote It.

I Suffered Fools So Gladly.

Low Self Esteem

Nothing Really Matters; Love Is All We Need.

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?

Oh Sure, I Have Lots Of Fears. My Job Is To Conquer My Fears. The Irony Of Being A Performer Is That I Have Huge Insecurities. Each Of Us Is Responsible For What Happens In Our Lives. When Good Things Happen, We Take Ownership, But When Bad Things Happen We Often Don't Take Responsibility. There Are No Mistakes Or Accidents. Consciousness Is Everything And All Things Begin With A Thought. We Are Responsible For Our Own Fate. We Reap What We Sow, We Get What We Give And We Pull In What We Put Out.

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.

And If You Have A Spiritual Life, You're Constantly Being Asked To See Yourself As One Small Fragment In The Bigger Picture.

My Point Of View And Philosophy Continues To Change And Grow. As The Years Go By You Go Through This Evolution.

I Want To Appeal To People's Sense Of Humanity And Interconnectedness. I Feel Like I Have The Platform I'm Standing On For A Reason.

Everybody In Our Family Studied A Musical Instrument. My Father Was Really Big On That. Somehow I Only Took A Year Or Two Of Piano Lessons And I Convinced My Father To Let Me Take Dancing Lessons.

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 Am A Tip-top Starlet. That Is My Job That I Am Paid To Do.

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

I Do Think That The Birth Of My Daughter Was Sort Of A Rebirth For Me. It Made Me Look At Life In A Completely New Way. And That Made Me Appreciate Life In A Way I Don't Think I Ever Had Before.

Losing My Virginity Was A Career Move.

I Am Attracted To A Thug. I Like That Quality, But I Like The Other Side Of It, Too. Because All Guys Who Go Around Behaving In Macho Ways Are Really Scared Little Girls. So You Have To Look Beneath The Surface. There's A Difference Between My Ideal Man And A Man That I'm Sexually Attracted To, Believe Me. Therein Lies The Rub.

My Priority Is My Family, Absolutely, 100 Percent.

Death Was A Big Part Of My Life Growing Up. I Went To Lots Of Funerals.

Thinking Isn't Something You Think About. It Comes Naturally. Thinking Involves Many Things. It Involves Being An Observer.

That's What Thinking Is: Processing.

You Have To Be Patient. I'm Not!

My Father Was Very Strict With Me, And I Kept Seeing A Disparity Between Their Freedom And My Lack Of It, Or How I Had All The Responsibilities And They Had None.

I Loved Nuns When I Was Growing Up. I Thought They Were Beautiful. For Several Years I Wanted To Be A Nun. I Saw Them As Really Pure, Disciplined, Above Average People. They Had These Serene Faces. Nuns Are Sexy.

I Always Felt Like I Was A Freak When I Was Growing Up And That There Was Something Wrong With Me Because I Couldn't Fit In Anywhere.

Raising Kids Makes Most People, Including Me, Grow Up At Least A Little.

Be Strong, Believe In Freedom And In God, Love Yourself, Understand Your Sexuality, Have A Sense Of Humor, Masturbate, Don't Judge People By Their Religion, Color Or Sexual Habits, Love Life And Your Family.

With All The Chaos, Pain And Suffering In The World, The Fact That My Adoption Of A Child From Who Was Living In An Orphanage, You Know, Was The Number One Story For A Week In The World. To Me, That Says More About Our Inability To Focus On The Real Problems.

I Think They Probably Got It On, Jesus And Mary Magdalene.

Everyone Is Entitled To My Opinion

It Would Be So Helpful For The Straight Community To See Men In Powerful Positions Coming Out And Saying "i'm Gay" So They Don't Have These Preconceived Notions That All Gay Men Are Smarmy Idiots Living On The Street Or Whatever It Is People Think Of Gay Men.

Asking Questions

When I First Came Up, The Whole Aids Epidemic Was Starting, And The Gay Community That I Experienced From The Beginning Of My Career Was Mostly - And Overwhelmingly - Concerned With Staying Alive. And, Also, I Felt Really Aware Of The Preciousness Of Life And Time. The Gay Community And People Who Were Hiv-positive Were Treated So Badly, And I Was Very Disturbed By Things. But I Also Saw A Lot Of Love And Connection In The Gay Community At That Time.

I Don't Know Why; I Had Nothing Of Value After They Took My Radio The First Time.

On The One Hand, The Idea Of Marriage And The Sort Of Traditional Family Life Repulses Me. But On The Other Hand, I Long For It, You Know What I Mean? I'm Constantly In Conflict With Things. And It Is Because Of My Past And My Upbringing And The Journey That I've Been On.
