I'm a flamboyant person. I like to live life. I certainly work hard for it, and I want to have a good time. Don't deny me that. It might not come again and I want to enjoy myself a little.

When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got.

Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease.

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.
