Bare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that you’re proud of instead of something that you’re ashamed of.

I love Tokio Hotel and their music, their makeup, their hairstyles and their subtlety.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

The reason I don't want anyone to control me is not because I want to be in control. I don't want anyone to control me because I don't want anyone to control anyone.

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.'

As artists, we are eternally heartbroken.
