It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I'm experimental by nature... always exploring my creativity.

I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.

I don't think there is such a thing as being too raunchy when it comes to the art form of burlesque.

When success comes, people can try to trick you or take advantage of you.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

It's impossible to redefine yourself and your life overnight.
