We get shy about saying things like I love you. Life is so short. It's crazy, that we hesitate to express our true thoughts to each other.

Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.

My life was pretty rough.

Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.

If I hear dance music, my body starts to move. Whatever the dance music is, I can't help it. With all that, I still felt, well, rock is a little higher art, but it wasn't. Right now, because I have so much experience with dance charts, I started to realize that it's incredible art. This is going to be known one day as high art.

If you have a slave around the house how can you expect to make a revolution outside it? The problem for women is that if we try to be free, then we naturally become lonely, because so many women are willing to become slaves, and men usually prefer that.

Rather than deal with problems in relationships, I've always moved on. That's why I'm one of the very few survivors as a woman, you know.

I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.

World peace is one project that we have to do together.

When you are totally depressed, you should try giggling. Just make yourself laugh. Force yourself to laugh.
