I have kids who buy tickets for my show... How could I take their money and ignore their problems?

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

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous. The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy.

They can't scare me, if I scare them first.

If you are not honorable enough to fight without prejudice, go home.

I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night.

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.
