I would like to see the Pope wearing my T-shirt.

I think you can be defiant and rebellious and still be strong and positive.

People think that being famous is just about having your picture taken all the time and being rich rich rich, and you know what?... They're absolutely right.

I know I'm not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn't interest me, I'm interested in being provocative and pushing people's buttons.

If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!

I pay attention to what's going on around me. I'm always looking for new energy, new talent, new voices. When you do that I think it's easier to come up with fresh ideas. It's not that my career has been based on surprising people, but it's been about challenging myself - to constantly do new things that are going to broaden my own mind and in the process, hopefully, connect with other people.

If at first you don't succeed, you're obviously not me.
