One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can't be judged.

My biggest thing is to teach not to focus on the aesthetic. It's really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.

When I hear a great new record, especially when it's by someone that I respect and admire, then a part of me is like, Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I write that record? It makes you sick, but in a way it can be a great thing. It makes you want to go back to the lab and start writing again. Maybe it will inspire you to try a little harder.

My mom is one of those people that you feel honored to meet. And no matter who you are, you fall in love with her because she is spiritual, she's inspiring, she's strong, she's funny, she's creative, she's talented... she's everything that I want to be.

In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman. That's my mission.

We are all the same and we all want the same things: the right to be happy, to be just who we want to be and to love who we want to love.

Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don't change?
