After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela.
Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.
I cannot drink or do anything that changes the mind.
I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
I go to meetings in every country I'm in; I have a sponsor... When you stop drugs, you have to stop everything.
I have no regrets. I've got my health.
I live my life day by day, and that's how I continue to live it.
I make a lot of money and I'm worth every cent.
I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that.
I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that. I work very hard and I'm worth every cent.
I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out.
I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out. I work very hard, and I am worth every cent.
I work very hard and I'm worth every cent.
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty.
I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.
My features are completely ethnic.
No one should ever be ashamed of going to meetings. It's healthy, it's therapeutic and it's the right way to live.
The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath.
Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.
