I felt pressure to follow in Madonna's footsteps, and I didn't want to base my career on sex. So I began to change how I saw myself.

Watching Madonna puffing on a cigar on David Letterman's show, I thought, 'Gosh, she's feeling so India! All she needs is long, black hair and a trip to the Caribbean to burn her skin up.'

I don't want her at all to follow in the footsteps I went through.

There's so many other things I want to do. I don't want to do them to be different or just for a challenge, but because my heart and soul tell me to.

I told God, 'I don't want a man. I don't want more gold albums. The only thing I want is the love, friendship, and presence of my mother.' And God gave it to me.

He's a ham. He could follow in his sister's footsteps.
