I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.

I have to speak for myself. As far as videos go - casting, the artwork, everything - I'm completely hands-on. You have to be if you want your points across.

There's something about breaking up with someone - you just look hotter than you ever did before.

I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.

I'm very much in the trenches, and I don't live in the lap of luxury. I come from a working-class military family. We watch the news and read the paper and vote, so there's always something to be upset about. I always have a certain amount of angst in my back pocket.

Raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways.

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.
