When the working day is done, girls they just want to have fun.
There's ageism in everything. I don't give a hoot. It isn't what other people think; it's what you think. But it's hard to come to terms with getting older. I admire people like Vivienne Westwood.
Just like I am obsessed with the history of fashion, I love reading about the history of makeup.
People used to complain to me all the time, 'I can't even hear you sing because your clothes are so loud.
I wanna go south and get some more. Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine, they say I better stop or I'll go blind.
The '80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.
With fame, I'm able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.
The more you practice and study, the better you are so I still practice and study all the time.
When I perform on stage, I often pretend to be someone other than myself to bring a certain emotion or intent to a song.
Fame doesn't redeem you. It takes a long time to get there, and when you're finally there, you realise you still have authority figures telling you what to do.
I have never been prouder to be a lifelong New Yorker than I am today with the passage of marriage equality.
Goonies are good enough, good enough for me
There have been great things that happened to me.
Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity, You play it safe every time...
