I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.

I don't view myself as outrageous - that's not the intention. Its to be more and more original.

I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star.

I dont really ever compare myself to other people, I dont even measure myself in terms of anyone but myself.

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.

I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

I want you to walk out of here tonight not loving me more, but loving yourselves more.
