My talent matters more to me than the money does.

I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.

I don't view myself as outrageous - that's not the intention. Its to be more and more original.

I write music every day.

I’ve had enough, this is my prayer, that I’ll die living just as free as my hair.

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.

cause it's a hard life, with love in the world. and i'm a hard girl, loving me is like chewing on pearls.
