I'm a performance artist first; I'm a recording artist second.

I'm pretty mutable as a human being, period - if you put me on Pluto, I can figure it out.

What I work hard at doing is staying on a path of being kind and showing and proving that I'm a good person to society. That's hard. The talent, that's a gift. I just came here like that.

I have so much music that I do. Just like how a visual artist is always sketching something but they might not share it, I'm always writing songs or coming up with melodic lines on piano or guitar. It's therapy. It's always happening.

I grew up listening to old soul

I think we [with Riccardo Tisci] share a sensibility about art - we pull from the ancient future.

I strongly believe that the more positive my vibration is, the clearer my message will be. I keep my negative thoughts from infiltrating my pathway and my dreams. Other people's thoughts are none of my business.
