I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.

If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.

Even though I really admire what Beyonce does, and she's probably got one of the best live shows in the world - honestly! - that's so not my style.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.

I love humanity, I love the way people look

Just because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn't mean it's not important or relevant.
