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

I've always been loud and obnoxious and sneaking my way into things, and so I feel like I've snuck my way onto the Lollapalooza lineup, and I'm going to sneak my way into whatever else I get to do.

Of course there are certain things that get to me, but I try and lead by example and show people that, especially with haters, that you should just ignore them.

I know that I have balls. I have bigger balls than a lot of the men that I meet. I'm just a ballsy motherf - ker. I'm not afraid of pushing boundaries. That's what you have to do to become an icon.

You don't have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool.

Parents should not let kids listen to my music if it's offensive. I wrote these songs for me.

I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun.
