I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.

Inspiration comes in the middle of the night when you should be doing homework.

I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't matter - just unique stuff.

At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.

I love sushi. But after too much of it, it just starts to taste like a dead animal that hasn't been cooked.

Like now what Urban Outfitters has become is very much how I always dressed in high school by going to garage sales and getting stuff for 50 cents. Cost a little more now, to look like crap.

Everyone knows a lot about me without actually knowing me at all.
