Whenever I do my live shows, I feel artistically inspired and excited because I get to do and say a lot of things that I can't if I just make a record. A lot of times it's the only way people are going to hear my music because you don't get to have your music played on Top 40 if you're above the age of 35.

Are you ready boots? Start Walking.....never look back. #‎ artforfreedom #‎ revolutionoflove

I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship.

I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.

People have this idea that if you're sexual and beautiful and provocative, then there's nothing else you could possibly offer.

Fame gets you in the door but it doesn't keep you in the room.

I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.
