If I could for a moment just inspire you to love yourself, that would be worth EVERYTHING

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

I feel the denial of gay marriage sends a prejudice message. Our youth deserve a fair and hopeful future with government that values us equally.

I hope to see women thriving and happy, loving what they're doing, and being in control and powerful of what they create. I guess what I would say is, as much as we all love the fashion and the makeup and the glamour, this isn't a beauty pageant. It's about the heart and the drive and the work. Of course, it's lovely to dress up and compliment one another and feel good - but that shouldn't be the very first thing.

I already am a product.

And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time.

Equality cannot be reached if fought in a divisive way.
