When I was kid, I remember playing 'Vogue' by Madonna over and over and over again. And ah, you know, something about the beat was really cool, and Madonna, visually, was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.

I need to be able to explain myself in context.

If something doesn't look right, throw some glitter on it.

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.

I breeze through Twitter - I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.

If sexy scares you, don't listen to my music.

Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.
