There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.

For my group of friends is Lady Gaga eye-opening? No. She's a less dangerous version of what was so cool about pop culture in the 80s. Back then it was so gay and so punk in so many ways.

I don't get mad with people, like, 'Oh, but that's not what the song was about...' It's also nice to know that people are mindlessly dancing to a song about the US Government's stance on same-sex marriages... especially straight jocks. I love that idea. I think that's the beauty of music - it's different for everybody.

The plus-size revolution that has been happening lately is incredible but it's also creating this "other" beauty standard in which you have to be an hourglass, you have to be super sexy and fierce about showing off your curves. That's quite frightening to me, and I don't fit in it, I don't want to fit it.

I am tired of spending a little bit of money in a lot of pieces because they keep on falling apart.

I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself.

You know, either I'm too fat or I'm flavour of the month. I don't feel either, but maybe I'm both, who knows?
