I don't like celebrities; I don't hang out with them; I don't relate to that life.

If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don’t know if I would be the algorithm. I’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.

And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time.

I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it's my mind.

Making ziti for the Chicago Fire Department! I hope they're not too busy today, but this should fill their bellies I hope they like it!

The real cake isn't HAVING what you want, it's DOING what you want

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.
