I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.

When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.

And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

I'm a liability to them - I'm a woman, I'm empowered, I'm an artist. I've had executives who can't come to my shows they're so scared of me. I've been a thorn in many people's sides just by existing.
