"When I'm not working I try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible."

"I haven't really been recording in the last several years. I haven't wanted to. And even though I had to deal with Sony and now I'm on Universal again, I will probably put out a new record soon."

"I am sensual and very physical. I'm very erotic. But my sexuality exists on a sort of a fantasy level."

"But I like to know that someone is stronger than I am. I want to be able to know that if I get tired, somebody is there to hold up the fort. I like knowing that I can't pick a refrigerator alone. God did not make me strong enough to do that."

"I don't keep a press agent because I think people need to have a break from you."
