I always put on a brave face when I was the most terrified, the most trapped and out of control.

I really can't break away from wearing black and leather!

The worst mistake a woman can make is to emulate a man.

I will never censor myself to please anyone.

Every bad thing that's happened to me has defined me, has shaped, has moulded me.

I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe in you and me

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.

I don't listen to music, actually. Obviously I go to clubs; I stand in elevators; a lot of my friends are musicians; I hear music all the time. But I don't have my own collection of music.

I don't really know what 'a dark place' means. I have windows in my house, and I'm generally an upbeat person! A lot of people throw that word at me because I wear a lot of black and leather.

Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.

During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for himself, to be down, to be angry, or to be weak. Leaders must beat back these emotions

The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy.

So often the monsters that crowd our minds are nothing more than the strange and thoroughly alien progeny of our own fearful fantasies.
