This means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win ... It will take a village and an army, [some] countries and continents to make bullying a hate crime.

I don't want the 5 dollars in your pocket, I want your soul

I don't want to face the reality of what people want from a female pop star. 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.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

All you care about is how punk rock you feel when you wake up in the morning.

Don't idolize me, idolize yourself.

I spend my money on my props and my creations. I'm an inventor.
