I'm not interested, Larry, in being a perfect, plastic pop singer that looks great in bikinis and is on the cover of every magazine. I'm more interested in helping my fans to love who they are, and helping them to reject prejudice and reject those things that they're taught from society to not like themselves, to feel like freaks, that they're not wanted.

Celebrate all the things you don't like about yourself. love yourself.

I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream. It's not an underground tool for me. It's my whole life.

I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.

I just want to keep writing music.

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

Sometimes I get this gut feeling about people - maybe I sense a hidden agenda or that they care for the money more than the message. I wish that I'd listen to that feeling instead of waiting for the truth to rear its ugly head. I'm a smart girl. I'm loyal. But sometimes I'm too loyal. I'm not loyal enough to myself.
