I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we've all heard about before.

The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.

Well, in order for me to be successful... In order to be a great artist - musician, actor, painter, whatever - you must be able to be private in public at all times.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.

My fashion is about the urban woman in the year 3000. I think about obscure, weird things and try to create a world around them.

I'm perpetually lonely.

If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.
