I take medication every day for mental illness and depression and don't feel bad about it.

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?

just remember: i love you, and love yourselves. 'cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.

I feel that homophobia runs rampant in the music industry, and that artists are allowed to speak openly in a hateful way, in a homophobic way, in a misogynistic way, and the press does not challenge them. And I'm going to be taking a very strong stance against that, and I am an artist who refuses to accept that behavior.
