An artist is the only thing I want to be. I only want my freedom and my creativity. It's all that I live for. I reject the idea that I have to take all the costumes and makeup off to be f - king authentic.

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

The whole world may not understand me, but I don’t care.

No matter how many people are screaming your name or how many Number One hits you have, you can still wake up and feel like a loser.

Don't be insecure, if your heart is pure

You ought to pity me 'cause there's always one man to love/ But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough.

We are not actually equal - humanity - if we are not allowed to freely love one another.
