Crying is not a weakness. It's something that should be able to work for you. It should also be a strength. I think if you can cry when you feel like crying it's a strength. If you feel like crying and you can't cry, that's a weakness. That means you're holding all that stuff inside.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.

I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.

I think it's somewhere in my head, in my travel space, and it just comes out. It's a visual thing that happens unintentionally. People will tell me, "You do realize you just spoke with that accent, right?" And I'll go, "Oh, did I?" So it's not something I think about. As we talk, I have a visual about my speech and it just comes out like that. If that makes any sense!

It doesn't surprise me that people can't see beyond my image. It's amazing, but I can understand it. That's what image is for. But it's never a problem for me. It's only a problem for them. I don't really care. I do what I want regardless.

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

You can be a boy, a girl, whatever you want. I have a lot of man in me.
