In school, I learned about artists and how they were free to express themselves. I was allergic to conformity, and the lifestyle attracted me. I wanted to express myself in a way that slammed people up against the wall. ”

I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer. ”

I don't miss anything about the 1960s, not really. I did it. It's like asking, 'Do you miss the fourth grade?' I loved the fourth grade when I was in it, but I don't want to do it again. ”

My deal is that I pay more attention to whatever job I have than the relationships I have. Now, if I had considered my job to be a wife and mother, then I would have been pretty good at it. But I didn't consider it a job. I thought it was like brushing your teeth - it's not fun, it's just something you do to keep your teeth from falling out. ”

I do what I love to do, what I choose to do. ”

It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short; you've got to pack it all in there. ”

I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are. ”

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not. ”

Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life. ”

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around. ”
