A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

True beauty is knowing who you are and what you want and never apologizing for it.

Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us. I personally don't know a single person who doesn't know at least two of these victims personally.

We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.

When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

You can't move mountains by whispering at them.
