The mall is my life.

It may not be the best in someone else’s eyes, but it’s the best I can do.

Music is passionate. It’s love for me.

I’ve seen the photos of me and Flo Rida. It doesn’t matter how we met. We met. I don’t want to say that we’re a couple. I can definitely say that he’s somebody in my life, and I’m definitely interested but I’m not serious with anybody.

I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.

I’ll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.

I couldn’t have asked for a better target than Trump

Every person has a signature. Just some people don’t know it yet.

Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.

Starting a new studio was a thrilling challenge, but it was more stressful than fun. I never took a salary, a bonus or expenses. I learned never to do anything you’re not passionate about.

I don’t think these women are stupid. I think they’re selling a personality that’s very marketable: Wouldn’t it be fun if we were all gorgeous and didn’t have a care? But creating a cultural icon out of someone who goes, “I’m stupid, isn’t it cute?” makes me want to throw daggers at them! I want to say to them, “My grandma did not fight for what she fought for, and my mother did not fight for what she fought for, so you can start telling women it’s fun to be stupid.” Saying that to young women, little girls, my daughter? It’s not OK.

I tell you, in this world being a little crazy helps to keep you sane.

Well, I think you and I have always felt the same way – that we’re Jewish but we can get away with just being exotic. We’re kind of Jews in disguise.

Working for me is like a gift!

I’ll take opinions from anyone from Jay-Z to a janitor, and I might value the janitor’s opinion more.

Now they’re getting so politically correct you can’t even stick your tongue out at somebody.

I love being sexy; I’m never gonna stop being an exhibitionist

Apparently, I think it’s Columbia Records has Betty Wand’s name on all of the stuff that I did, too, and that’s made me very, very unhappy.

For me an album cover is like a movie poster. I wanted an image that was pure femininity, which could please a sculptor. I went through a lot of suffering. But managing to stand up nude on stage carrying a guitar is a victory.

Relax, stop overdoing it, and just breathe for a second.
