I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
I thought I should go to New York because it was the place to go to study. I went and tried to get an application from the Juilliard School but they wouldn't even give me one because I didn't have my high school graduation.
I have 120 people in my payroll without any government giving me any money. We live off the tickets and the records I sell. That is very unusual.
I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.
I've been blessed with a lot of things in life, but God did not give me rhythm. Still, I love to dance - which past girlfriends always found hilarious.
I am so grateful to God for giving me the gift of 48 years with my daughter. And I accept that He knew when it was time to take her.
I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.
One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.
I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.
At school, I was a shy lad and still am. But acting gives me licence to be up there, demanding the focus. It's the one time in my life where I don't have to shout to be heard.
I was really glad to meet Jane Clark because it did give me an insight. I couldn't imagine what kind of woman she was. I was hugely impressed by her energy, straightforward nature and enthusiasm for life.
For me to get through the toughest periods in my life, I had to look within to find the energy to do it. I don't give up. Never have. Never will.
I have been dealing with illness and its manifestations since I was a teenager, and I think that gives me a very healthy respect for the things in life we can't control.
You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that's happened to me can apply.
I give people style tips in Whole Foods. Wherever I go, people want to ask me questions all the time, and I'm more than happy to answer them. I love talking to people.
Music is a lady that I still love because she gives me the air that I breathe. We need all sorts of nourishment. And music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.
I still paint. I love the joy that color can give to our lives and to our communities. I try to bring something of the artist in me to my politics.
I love being a Givenik Ambassador. Not only does it give me a platform to discuss my favorite charities, but I get to talk about my other favorite topic - 'The Judy Show!'
Reading poetry gives me a sense of calm, well-being, and love for humanity - the same stuff more flexible women get from yoga.
Devil must really hate me a lot because I consistently refuse to give him an opportunity to win over my soul.
I keep everything fans give me, if I can, but I do worry about when I run out of room in my house!
