Personal Quotes (2)

edit

[after the 2013 death of boyfriend David Wilson] I just keep telling myself that the more suffering that I go through, the greater character I'll have.

It is a giant whirlwind of chaos all the time. I call my life a beautiful mess and organized chaos. It's just always been like that. My entire life things have been attracted to me and vice versa that turn into chaotic nightmares, or I create the chaos myself. I think that's really the life of a celebrity, of a big, huge, giant personality.

"He (David Wilson) was a precious gift from God to all of us and yesterday, he returned home and is now with his mother and father. David loved and he was loved. Those who knew and loved him will miss him; those who did not know David, missed the opportunity to know a truly loving and gifted man." (January 14, 2013)
