Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.
Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.
I like black because it is a vacant space.
I'm perpetually lonely.
I’m going to be a star, you know why? Because I have nothing left to lose.
Do you know the feeling, when your heart is so hurt, that you could feel the blood dripping?
How can I protect something so perfect without evil.
In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'
I want the deepest, darkest, sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much.
I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed.
You must always remember, the most important fashion accessory is the condom.
I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.
I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you - when life opens that door for you, I should say - I think it's important to be giving, to return the love back.
If love is a sin, live a lie. You and Me, until I die.
Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star.
I'm always on the market for a new friend, period. As your success continues to grow, you start to see who your real friends are. But I'm always looking for wonderful people to have in my life that have no agenda and aren't fake friends.
It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all.
I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.
The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me - from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life.
I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.
I had a boyfriend who told me I'd never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I'd fail. I said to him, 'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***** deli without hearing or seeing me.'
Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics; they can be lost forever.
When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.
I feel that my fans have cultivated my talent and they continue to nurture me.
