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.

I Think That Life Is A Paradox And You Have To Embrace That In Your Work And Your Belief Systems... You Can't Be A Literalist, And That's The Trouble That People Always Find Themselves In. That's Why People Always Hit A Wall With Any Of My Stuff, Because You Can't Take It Literally.

I Think After Time Goes By And You Earn Certain Rights Or You Break Through Certain Barriers, You Could Sometimes, Maybe, Take It For Granted What You Have Now That You Didn't Have Before.

The Cross Is A Very Powerful Symbol And It Symbolizes Suffering, But It Also Is Connected To A Person Who Was Loving And Sharing And His Message Was About Unconditional Love. I Tried To Take A Powerful Image And Use It To Draw Attention To A Situation That Needs Attention. For Me, We All Need To Be Jesus In Our Time. Jesus' Message Was To Love Your Neighbor As Yourself And These Are People In Need.

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 Could Never Work In A Recording Studio Where You Have This Lovely View And A Beach And The Waves Are Crashing. For Me, It's All About Being In A Tiny Room With Little Windows. It's Almost Like You Have To Be In A Prison. And You Can Create Beauty When You're In That Sort Of Deprived Environment, Which Is A Re-creation Of Your Formative Years.

One Set Of Circumstances Does Not Complete You. Maybe Nothing Ever Does. So You Work On Your Life And You Work On Your 'work' And You Try To Live Every Single Day Like It's Your Last. And You Try To Be Better, To Yourself And To Others. I Don't Always Succeed. But I Try And It's My Goal.

There Are Certain Mystical Belief Systems That Believe That Taking Pictures Takes An Aspect Of The Soul, But Beyond That It's Just The Idea That Once You're Captured In A Photograph, Then A Million Presumptions Are Made Of You, And You Are Forever Frozen In That One Moment, And You Are Perceived To Be The Embodiment Of That Moment, And That, Of Course, Is An Illusion.

We All Need To Treat Each Other With Human Dignity And Respect

Why Did Girls Have To Shave Their Legs And Guys Didn't? Why Did Society, Like, Set Everything Up The Way They Did? My Whole Adolescence Was Full Of Unanswered Whys. Because They Never Got Answered, I Just Kept Lighting Fires Everywhere - Metaphorically Speaking.

Trying To Be A Professional Dancer, Paying My Rent By Posing Nude For Art Classes, Staring At People Staring At Me Naked.

But It Was Hard And It Was Lonely, And I Had To Dare Myself Every Day To Keep Going.

People Don't Know What Kabbalah Is, And So They Jump To Conclusions. For Me, Studying Kabbalah Is Studying - Is Just - Is Asking Questions. And I Encourage All Of My Children To Be That Way, And I Think People Don't Understand That. And So They Make Assumptions And They Judge.

Asking Questions

I Panic Every Time I Put Out A Record. I Think Every Artist Does.

What I Find Really Astonishing Is How Quiet Everybody Is In My Industry. I Mean, Nobody In The Entertainment Business Except For Maybe A Handful Of People Ever Speak Out About What's Going On. Nobody Takes A Political Stance Or Expresses An Opinion.

A Lot Of People Saw Marilyn Monroe And Judy Garland As Persecuted And Tragic And Vulnerable, And I Think A Lot Of Gay Men Feel That Way Because Of Their Particular Predicament In Society And Not Being Accepted Completely.

I Became Very Obsessed With Death, And The Idea That You Never Know When Death Will Arrive, So One Has To Do As Much As Possible All The Time To Get The Most Out Of Life. That Would Be A Motivating Force.

Who Needs A Smile When A Tear's So Full Of Love?

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.

I Don't Take Drugs. I Never Did. All The Feelings That Drugs Are Supposed To Produce In You - Confidence Or Energy - I Can Produce Naturally.

In My Coming-of-age Time, There Was No Internet, No Social Networking, Nothing. It Was Just Show After Show, Hoping One Day Somebody Would Notice You.

I've Been Practicing Yoga Very Seriously For A Little Over A Year And I Believe That Helped My Voice And Affected My Singing.

I've Always Been Interested In Electronica, Techno, Trip-hop, That Kind Of Music. The Thing That Bothered Me About A Lot Of That Music, Though, Was It Seemed Devoid Of Emotion. There Wasn't A Lot That Felt Personal.

In The End, By Having A Point Of View, By Taking A Stand For Things You Believe In, You're Ultimately Always Going To Offend People. That's Good. It's Certainly More Important To Take A Stand On Some Thing And Offend People, Than To Be Careful All Of Your Life And Have Everyone Approve Of What You Do. Or, As My Psychiatrist Likes To Say, Better To Live One Year As A Tiger Than 100 As A Sheep.

Rebel Heart Changed Everything. First Of All, It Drove Me Insane - And Made Me Feel An Overwhelming Sense Of Anxiety. It Made Me Second Guess Everything, Because Suddenly I Thought, 'oh God, Everyone's Heard All These Demos.'

I Like To Be Provocative.

Sleeping Is The Most Difficult Part Of What I Do, Relaxing Afterwards. Letting Things Go.

Music Makes The People Come Together.

We Live In A Very Scary Time. Or Should I Say We Don't Live At All.

Part Of The Reason I Sort Of Shot Out Like A Cannon Out Of Michigan And Left Home At Such An Early Age Is Because I Had To Feel Independent.

I Think For The Most Part Men Have Always Been The Aggressors Sexually. Through Time Immemorial They've Always Been In Control. So I Think Sex Is Equated With Power In A Way, And That's Scary In A Way. It's Scary For Men That Women Would Have That Power, And I Think It's Scary For Women To Have That Power - Or To Have That Power And Be Sexy At The Same Time.

Art Can Heal It If Art Is Allowed To Exist. And If Art Is Slowly Wiped Off The Face Of The Planet, Then What Tools Do We Have To Reach People, To Appeal To Them And All Of Their Senses?

You're So Consumed With How Much You Get, You Waste Your Time With Hate And Regret.

I Made A Vow That I Would Never Need Another Person Ever. Turned My Heart Into A Cage, A Victim Of A Kind Of Rage.

I Don't Give A Damn If I Go To Hell. I Love You Satan. The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions.

Good Intentions

I'm Liking The Idea More And More Of Just Standing Up With A Microphone And Talking.

Many People See Eva Peron As Either A Saint Or The Incarnation Of Satan. That Means I Definitely Can Identify With Her.

Obviously, I Feel A Great Sense Of Responsibility Being A Good Parent And Raising My Children. I Don't Take That Job Very Lightly. Who They Are, What They Become And What They Contribute To The World Is Very Important To Me.

Beauty's Where You Find It; Not Just Where You Bump And Grind It.

When I First Came To New York I Was A Dancer, And A French Record Label Offered Me A Recording Contract And I Had To Go To Paris To Do It. So I Went There And That's How I Really Got Into The Music Business. But I Didn't Like What I Was Doing When I Got There, So I Left, And I Never Did A Record There.

Thinking Isn't Something You Think About. It Comes Naturally. Thinking Involves Many Things. It Involves Being An Observer. It Involves Analyzing Things, Taking In What's Around You In The World And Finding How To Make It Inspire Your Work Or Turn It Into A Lesson To Teach Your Children; It's Paying Attention To Details. That's What Thinking Is: Processing.

Everything Looks True Written Down. What You Read In National Enquirer And News Of The World Looks True Written Down.

I Always Thought I Should Be Treated Like A Star.

I'll Rest When I'm Dead. I'm Hungry And Life Is Short!

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 Love Being Photographed, Or I Should Say I Love The Art Of Photography. It's About People Taking Photographs Of You, Stealing Them, And Then Presuming Or Assuming Or Captioning. Words Can Never Be Taken Back, Photographs Can Never Be Taken Back, Nothing Can Ever Be Taken Back.

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.

Sometimes You Just Have To Go And Make A Mess Of Things To Get People To Pay Attention.

I Do See That The World That We Live In Is Collapsing To A Certain Extent, And Civilization As We Know It Is Caving In On Itself. I Believe That We Are At A Very Low Level Of Consciousness, And We Do Not Know How To Treat Each Other As Human Beings. We Are Caught Up In Our Own Lives, Our Own Needs, Our Own Ego Gratification. I Feel A Strong Sense Of Responsibility In Delivering That Message.

Go Down Where All Life Begins, Go Down That's Where My Love Is.

When I Came To New York It Was The First Time I'd Ever Taken A Plane, The First Time I'd Ever Gotten A Taxi-cab, The First Time For Everything. And I Came Here With 35 Dollars In My Pocket. It Was The Bravest Thing I'd Ever Done.

Only When I'm Dancing Can I Feel This Free.

Nothing Really Matters; Love Is All We Need.

Prince Charles Is Very Relaxed At The Table, Throwing His Salad Around Willy-nilly. I Didn't Find Him Stiff At All.

Bad Habits Die Hard...........❤ #livingforlove ❤ #rebelheart

If We Took A Holiday, Took Some Time To Celebrate, Just One Day Out Of Life, It Would Be, It Would Be So Nice.

When The Day Is Done The Most Important Thing Is Loving People And Sharing Love.

I Love Horses. I Think I May Have Been One Of Henry Viii’s Knights In Another Life, Riding Through A Great Forest.

I'll Flirt With Anyone From Garbagemen To Grandmothers.

I've Created A Very Unconventional Family. I Have Lovers Who Are Three Decades Younger Than Me. This Makes People Very Uncomfortable.

Sometimes You Want To Go For A Walk And You Don't Want To Be Watched. You Just Want To Be Anonymous And Blend In. Especially When I Travel, I Feel That Way, Because I Can't Really Go Out And See A City The Way Other People Can And I Miss Out On A Lot.

Filmmaking Is Such A Collaboration. At A Certain Point, I Suppose You Do Have To Let Go And Trust The People You're Working With.

You Don't Want To Be The Smartest Person In The Room; You Want To Be The Dumbest In The Room. You Want To Be Surrounded By Other Thinking People Who Are Going To Say Something That Makes You Think, "oh, My God, That's An Amazing Idea. Why Didn't I Think Of That."

I Go To Malawi Twice A Year. It's Where Two Of My Children Were Adopted From, And I Have A Lot Of Projects There That I Go And Check Up On And Children Who I Look After. It's Sort Of A Commitment That I've Made To This Country And The Hundreds Of Thousands Of Children There Who Have Been Orphaned By Aids.

Sometimes I Look Back At Myself And Remember Things I Used To Say, Or My Hairstyle, And I Cringe.

In Our House We Don't Use Words Like "despise" And 'hate,' We Say "strongly Dislike."

I Don't Even Remember Why I Called Myself An Idiot. I Can Be Very Harshly Critical Of Myself. It Depends On My Mood, And Obviously It Depends On Where I Am In My Life. Yes, Embracing Myself - I'm Working On That.
