I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.

I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.

The only way to deal with critics is to go over their heads direct to the public.

These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.

Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

My fans are the best. I mean if there was a war, I think they'd definitely win just because they'd kill them with kindness.
