The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy.

I have a Pinterest, and if you look there you'll see the things I really like and adore, have crushes on, and there's a lot of stuff from Riccardo's [Tisci] line on there.

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

I'm kind of a recluse when it comes to going outside.

I really enjoy being the child's 'welcoming committee' and to help someone usher his or her spirit into the world in a very peaceful way is very effortless to me.

But now I realize that this record business really needs me. No one else is trying to take a chance or do something different.

People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
