You know, I do speak the Queens English. It’s just the wrong Queens that’s all. It’s over the 59th Street Bridge. It’s not over the Atlantic Ocean.
I’ve been a diva since I was four.
There have been great things that happened to me.
Goonies are good enough, good enough for me.
I have never been prouder to be a lifelong New Yorker than I am today with the passage of marriage equality.
The ’80s was a really creative and brave period. Remember, it was a period of ultraconservatism, and so you needed brave people to push ahead like that.
Sharon Osbourne is such a blast and she’s so, so bright.
Men and women are different. I don’t think men grow a brain until 26 or even 30. Girls mature a lot quicker.
You can’t make your kids what you want them to be. They are who they are and you have to help them to succeed in the world as best you can.
I lose faith and I lose ground, but then I see you and remember unconditional love.
If you fall, I will catch you. I will be waiting, time after time.
I wanna go south and get some more. Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine, they say I better stop or I’ll go blind.
Just like I am obsessed with the history of fashion, I love reading about the history of makeup.
With fame, I’m able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.
When the working day is done, girls they just want to have fun.
It’s that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what’s happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who’s able to create.
I never had a rivalry with Madonna. You don’t knock another sister, ever. There’s room for everybody on this planet; you don’t have to be like anyone else.
There’s ageism in everything. I don’t give a hoot. It isn’t what other people think; it’s what you think. But it’s hard to come to terms with getting older. I admire people like Vivienne Westwood.
My mother said I was a little odd as a kid. I was alone a lot, but I didn’t feel alone.
My torso is short, but my arms are really long and gangly and my legs and my neck, and my feet and hands are really long, and I look like a duck.
I don’t know many people who don’t have somebody in their family who’s a part of the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender community. It’s not like they’re aliens or outsiders. This is family.
