I find it so important now to be a role model and a figure. And I know that may sound strange to some people, but most important is my connection with my fans and the connection that they breed with one another.

Love is an interesting thing. Perhaps I've never been in love before - I don't really know? I think I have. I guess it's subjective in that way.

It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.

I believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place.

I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay.

Being different is a talent. You illuminate what makes you special in the sea of sameness around you.
