I wanted to only create a great perfume, not any perfume that would sell, but a great artistic one that the fans would not feel cheated by.

I'd rather people love me or hate me than have no opinion of me. Indifference is scary.

I’m not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f*** off.

At the end of the day, you won't be happy until you love yourself.

Pop music will never be low brow.

Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.

I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I'm gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it's gay. And I love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. And it's going to remain gay.
