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.

To Me, The Most Important Thing - Aside From Meeting People's Physical Needs, Whether That's Education, Health Care, Clothing, Food, A Roof Over Their Heads - Is Changing The Mind-set And Educating People. And Most Of All, Most Important, Is Empowering People And Making Them Self-sustaining.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've Always Been Under Scrutiny. But I Used To Just Not Really Pay Attention To What People Said.

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

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.

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

There Isn't A Performer On Earth That Isn't An Exhibitionist. There Isn't Any Point In Being In This Business If You're Not An Exhibitionist. And, By The Way, You Can Be An Exhibitionist And Be Very Shy As Well.

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.

Strong Women Leave Big Hickies

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. I've Got Kids, And I'm Thinking, This Is Weird. It's Weird Juggling Children On Your Knee While You're In Your Rhinestone Outfit. 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 Sure Other People Have A Very Strange View Of My Lifestyle.

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.

I'm Not Claiming To Appeal To The Same People That Christina Aguilera Or Britney Spears Are Going To Appeal To. I'm Not Trying To. I'm Doing What I Want To Do.

I Am Not Reinventing Myself. I Am Going Through The Layers And Revealing Myself. I Am On A Journey, An Adventure That's Constantly Changing Shape.

Thanks For All The Birthday Love! I Feel Like The Luckiest Girl In The World Today!

The Beast Is The Modern World That We Live In! The Material World. The Physical World. The World Of Illusion That We Think Is Real. We Live For It; We're Enslaved By It. And It Will Ultimately Be Our Undoing.

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?

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

The World Is Not So Kind, People Trap Your Mind.

I Was Used To Dancing, But Only When Someone Told You What To Do. So In The Nightclub I Was All Over The Place, I Combined Everything. Street Dance, Modern Dance, A Bit Of Jazz And Ballet, I Was Twyla Tharp, I Was Alvin Ailey, I Was Michael Jackson. I Didn't Care, I Was Free.

I Became An Overachiever To Get Approval From The World.

When I'm Dead And No Longer The Threat. My Comfort Is That All The Great Artists Since The Beginning Of Time Have Always Been Completely Misunderstood And Never Fully Appreciated Until They Were Dead.

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. And Then That Would Lead To A Certain Lack Of Community, In A Way, Caring In A Way, That I Saw Before [in Gay Society].

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.

Whenever I Do My Live Shows, I Feel Artistically Inspired And Excited Because I Get To Do And Say A Lot Of Things That I Can't If I Just Make A Record. A Lot Of Times It's The Only Way People Are Going To Hear My Music Because You Don't Get To Have Your Music Played On Top 40 If You're Above The Age Of 35.

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.
