I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community.

My records are borderline dance records. They've got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there's a lot of people that were like, 'This is a dance record.'

People want to tear me down, they were going to knife me anyway.

Equality cannot be reached if fought in a divisive way.

I feel that homophobia runs rampant in the music industry, and that artists are allowed to speak openly in a hateful way, in a homophobic way, in a misogynistic way, and the press does not challenge them. And I'm going to be taking a very strong stance against that, and I am an artist who refuses to accept that behavior.

Why spend your whole life trying to be somebody that you're not? It's so much more fun to be yourself **** what everybody says.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.
