When posing in lingerie, I suck everything in and pop my hip out a little bit. If you lie on your side and draw one knee in a bit, it makes you look more curvalicious.

Raise your eyes and count the small gang of your oppressors who are only strong through the blood they suck from you and through your arms which you lend them unwillingly.

I’m an energy vampire. I just suck off everybody’s energy. But I give it back.

When I was little, I used to suck the candy coating off of Advil and spit the white part back in the bottle.

I used to visit kids with cancer all the time. Now I’m in the club. I understand what’s happening to these little kids with brain cancer, and I ask myself, ‘How do they make it through the day?’ So you see a little 5-year-old and you say, ‘If she can do it, I can suck it up.’
