“Being famous is just a job.”

I used to be a cool chick but I’m not anymore.

I do not care what people think.

Rebel just for the kicks.

I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish.

When things take a long time, I really get stubborn.

I held the snake at VMA’s one time and decided to go ahead 20 years later and become the motherfucking snake myself.

As a mother, the one thing that always goes through your head is, You’re never enough. You never can be enough – or do enough – for your kids. It’s a never-ending issue for me.

I know not everyone will like me, but this is who I am so if you don’t like it, tough!

I don’t allow anybody to change me. I still walk outta my house in rollers and I take walks.

I did not have implants, I just had a growth spurt.

Whereas before I was a young, blonde girl who would do what she was told. I know who I am as a person and I’m getting damn strong.

I’m pretty normal, you know?

I’m into the food in Vegas. I’m willing to go to nice restaurants for sushi and stuff like that.

I definitely like to go out and dance. I’m a big vibe person when it comes to music so a song really has to make me feel a certain way in order for me to fall in love with it.

I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it’s a good process because I love all of my music.

I still have a lot to learn about the business, music, and about myself, it’s exciting.

Andy Warhol made fame more famous.

What I can’t completely understand is most other people’s fascination with what the famous among us do with their lips and the rest of their bodies.

I had never really wanted to be famous. Everyone is supposed to want to be rich and famous, but as a boy I never knew what rich was, and the first view I had of famous made me leery.

This famous quote hangs over my desk, as well as the desks of many people with the hubris and optimism to believe they can change the world for the better.

It isn’t necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It’s only necessary to be rich.

There is a famous Russian cartoon in which a hippopotamus, in the bush, points out a zebra to another hippopotamus: ‘You see,’ he says, ‘now that’s formalism.

The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.

Actors are always outsiders. It’s necessary to be able to interpret – and that gets distorted when you become famous.
