I'm not a feminist. I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars.

Don't idolize me, idolize yourself.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

Don't be insecure, if your heart is pure

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

I'm not interested, Larry, in being a perfect, plastic pop singer that looks great in bikinis and is on the cover of every magazine. I'm more interested in helping my fans to love who they are, and helping them to reject prejudice and reject those things that they're taught from society to not like themselves, to feel like freaks, that they're not wanted.

I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.
