I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

Everyone can access the parts of themselves that are great. I'm just a girl from New York City who decided to do this, after all. Rule the world! What's life worth living if you don't rule it?

I dont really ever compare myself to other people, I dont even measure myself in terms of anyone but myself.

We wanted to make something that sounded perfect because of the quality of the emotion...the honesty.

I want you to walk out of here tonight not loving me more, but loving yourselves more.

I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I'm gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it's gay. And I love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. And it's going to remain gay.
