I don't even think of myself as a quote, unquote star - that's really douchey. I think of myself as just like . . . a dance commander. You have to have dance parties all day and night, and you always have to be excited about having a dance party. You have to have a dance party in Milan one day, and then wake up and have a dance party at, like, four in the morning on national television in L.A. the next day. The hours are insane.

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

I can't walk in high heels, never mind dance in them.

I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.

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

I'm a singer and a writer first. I started to rap by accident, being playful.

Glitter is my makeup of choice.
