What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.

I want the deepest, darkest, sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much.

When I travel, I have almost all of my possessions with me. That's how little I own.

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.

The statement is that I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

I'm very free-spirited.
