My mother is very strong. Aside from wanting her beauty and her heart, I really wanted her strength. And I've always thought I don't have it.
I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.
It was the Control album that was really about what I wanted to do.
There are two sides of the Velvet Rope. Those who want to be on the other side and those who are on the other side.
I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.
I think people really connect with the idea of someone who's gained and lost weight in this very public way, and also someone who's an emotional eater.
When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes.
When we were growing up, all of us kids were vegetarians. No one had asked me to stop eating meat - I just noticed everyone else around me had stopped, so I followed the crew.
I'd adopt. And I think that if I'm really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that's God's plan for me.
You have to be careful with the clitoris, because if the piercer doesn't know what he's doing, it can be numbed for good.
I like to collaborate on my music. The creative process is fun, and you get a lot of ideas from having discussions about it. Ultimately, the final decision is mine.
There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?
In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.
