Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.
Don't be a drag. Just be a queen.
I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.
When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.
Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.
I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true
I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.
I'm able to laugh now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy to heal over the years, my music's been wonderful for me. But I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19, so ... I went to Catholic school and all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive.
I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay.
I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.
My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.
