It’s not that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just that I loathe reality.

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous. The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy.

I hope to see women thriving and happy, loving what they're doing, and being in control and powerful of what they create. I guess what I would say is, as much as we all love the fashion and the makeup and the glamour, this isn't a beauty pageant. It's about the heart and the drive and the work. Of course, it's lovely to dress up and compliment one another and feel good - but that shouldn't be the very first thing.

Why spend your whole life trying to be somebody that you're not? It's so much more fun to be yourself **** what everybody says.

Every video I'm in, every magazine cover, they stretch you; they make you perfect. It's not real life.

Music changed my life. I don't know who I would be without it. Don't ignore even the smallest glimmer of passion in your soul, run towards it with everything you have. It could change your life.

In my work and what I do, I am Queen of the Universe every day!
