I have not lived so abundantly, full of family, full of continuity and history.

I wasn't playing a drag queen - I was playing an extraordinary performer.

I really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.

If you come from a normal family, you immediately start playing the role of a boy, a girl a man or a woman, but I'm sure you'll agree with me that those are only roles, limited roles, at that.

I never grew up with a mother's hand - that's why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.

The point I'm trying to make is, I'm really quite neutral. I have not been conditioned.

I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.

I know people look at me and try to make conclusions about me immediately, based on the obvious, let's say.

Greatness means setting out to make some difference somewhere to someone in someplace.

I don't know the right way to retire.

Unlike the sun, intellectual luminaries shine brightest after they set.

Lovely chatting with you, darling, but I've got to run. Face it, you're always more content when you're chasing me than when you have me locked up. I think we're going to have a lot of fun.

Part of being who you are has to do with feeling your feelings, which means you'll have a wide range of emotions--not just constant sunshiny happiness.

It is not what we have but what we enjoy that constitutes our abundance.

God gushed me out his nuts, the devil swallowed me up and I burnt a hole in his guts

What is needed today is for all of us to work to change the world's mind about God.

If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.

Latin food is my guiltiest pleasure and my demise. My trainer hates when I go home to visit my mom and her cooking.
