“I don’t want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?”

I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I’ve been hurt by people who I’ve had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.

Be good to yourself ’cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.

You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don’t know where I’m going to take my career.

Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.

I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.

I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.

It’s really difficult trying to find the line where you don’t piss anybody off.

I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.

I don’t have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.

At a certain age I just stopped arguing. I realized that there was no way [my father] could see, because for him to approve of what I was doing, he would have to have some belief in me as a musician.

I’d never touch anything. I think it’s foolhardy to play around with the face that you’ve been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.

I’m surprised that I’ve survived my own dysfunction, really.

There are very few things in my life that I can’t have if I want them. So when I see something that I can’t have, immediately I’m obsessed by it.

Don’t be afraid to love all your broken pieces. They will finally wether with the waters of ages, shrinking into friendly gemlike pebbles that are soft to your soul.

Your timeless self does not age and has no fear of the future. Contemplate your physical self and all its possessions, and practice laughing peacefully at it all.

At my age, there is really only one big surprise left, and I’d just as soon leave it a mystery.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

By time and age full many things are taught.

No matter your age, you are here today, so there is time.

Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now.

Your age is your badge of honor.
