Applause was designed to bemuse and confuse you until it explodes into a chorus that reminds us why we love pop music.

I’m not a vomit in the club kinda girl.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they're not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don't care about money, and that's not my problem.

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.

Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face. Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be.

There is nothing Holy about hatred.

I love being able to be political without any political affiliation.
