And I'm also looking for a comeback record and it has to touch a lot of people.

By the second tour I had rice cakes and hummus with me, and I was jumping rope in my room.

I love drag queens... they perform me better than I ever could myself.

Love the woods and nature and the water and animals. Stop the BS with poaching and hunting. Preservation is critical.

I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people's presence within that. There's some people you enjoy watching more than others.

So when I'm working out I do things extreme.

Did people think I sounded black? Totally, but that was a marketing tool as well, but also this is how I grew up and these are my influences.

I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.

Emotional pain makes me want to isolate. Or hit back. It's very tough to rise above my natural inclinations. I'm always working on this.

Forget things and have a quiet moment.

Singing and being truthful to a song... I've developed that skill, and I know how to do that real instinctively, that's all I've been doing for the last 25 years.

I did not get to where I am backstabbing people. If you want what I have, you must earn it like I did.

What does it matter if the world is bright and sunny, when it's dark and silent right where it matters most?

I don't care about the past.

Expect to feel pleasure. Knowledge is sexy. Expect to feel pain. Knowledge is torture.

Commute me, execute me. Don't drag it out.

I hum some secret place into being, thinking of this other me, the one that only I can see, a girl called She, who is not We, a girl who I will never be.

Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information

He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.

The technology of synthetic biology is currently accelerating at four times the rate of Moore's Law. It's been doing that since 2005, and it's likely to continue.

If you will make the necessary effort you can develop any talent.
