My entire mission in life is to help women take over the world. Not by force (the route so many men have taken since the beginning of time), but with compassion, perseverance, and love.

No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

The fact is, there really is no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

As an Irish person, there's a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that's what we grow up with.

All I want to do is give the world my heart... Record label tryina make me compromise my art.

Eternity, I don't know what's right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what's right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I'm going to do is give my life to you.

I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.

I am flawed, deeply flawed. I didn't invent the [doping] culture but I didn't try to stop the culture and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for.
