“There’s nothing wrong with a thick eyebrow; Frida Kahlo had them.”

I wish I was more stupid because I’m either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I’m a bit morbid. There’s never anything in between.

I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There’s something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I’d love to have that legacy.

I like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.

Celebrity culture is an aspirational culture regardless of how much you don’t want it to be.

I don’t normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.

I’m not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I’m on holiday. I do enough shopping when I’m at home, and like to have a complete break when I’m away.

I believe in life you need to always ask for everything politely and nicely, and then if they say no you do what you wanted to do anyway

I’m really into food; it’s one of my favourite things – everything from potato waffles to lobster.

I don’t connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.

You cannot schedule death.

It’s amazing living alone. I’m very lucky. It’s like a refuge.

I’m the type of person who, if somebody offers me a free meal, I get excited because you never know where your next free meal is going to come from.

If I go out with no make-up and a tracksuit on, nobody comes up to me. And if they do, I won’t do a photo because I wouldn’t want any photographic evidence.

I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.

If I see something that inspires me, I’ll dress like it.

Anybody who says they don’t want to be seen on a show which has millions of people watching it at one time when they’re in the business of selling records is a bit silly.

So there’s nothing more vulgar than the sound of someone saying, God Bless America, someone who doesn’t really believe it, but he thinks it will make him look good to other people. I think it’s the most nauseating spectacle.

First I lost weight, then I lost my voice, and now I’ve lost Onassis.

My style kind of differs – sometimes I want to be a little dressed down, a little tomboy, sometimes I want to be dressed up and very chic and look proper. But I don’t ever believe in overdoing it for day-to-day style.

Fast food may appear to be cheap food and, in the literal sense it often is, but that is because huge social and environmental costs are being excluded from the calculations.

Everyone is different: different shapes, sizes, colors, beliefs, personalities, and you have to celebrate those differences.

You can blame my mom for some of my worst fashion moments. She used to dress me and my sister in a lot of patterns. Like, she would put me in striped stockings with a floral dress. Like, why are you doing that to me?

I feel like my figure is a challenge because I’m quite flat chested but I’ve got a booty so I’ve got to look for the right things.

Your beauty is binding and I just want to consume every part of you.
