I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.

Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.

I don't see myself in terms of artifice. I see myself as a real person who chooses to live my life in an open way - artistically.

What I learned in jail is that I can't change. I can't live a different lifestyle - this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.

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 want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
