When you're around me, you're going to get glitter on you.

Making my last record, Warrior, was a pretty miserable process, and it wore my spirit down. I was fighting like hell to keep my whole irreverent essence and everything raw and visceral that I stand for in it, but in the end I was promoting something that wasn't the animal I wanted it to be. I decided to face my problem head-on.

I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people.

I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing.

If you want to be a legitimate artist, it's more important what you say no to.

I don’t love just men. I love people. It’s not about a gender. It’s just about the spirit that exudes from that other person you’re with.

I think people can stand to take themselves just a little less seriously. I'm fighting the war against pretension.
