On why she doesn't allow herself to be wowed by compliments:

"If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous,then someone tells you you stink and you believe that, too."

"I would like to be open with the public. I would like to not keep secrets or be careful when I talk. I don't want to have to plan things...I want to be outspoken. I want to say my opinions and I hope they're taken in the right way. I don't want to stop being free. And I won't."
