At a label, you are confined to the team you have, but I did all my solo work myself, and that makes you more agile and able to go into weirder corners.

I'm not going to say I'll never rock with a band, because I'm too much of a fan of the aesthetic of a great band. But a girl group? Not again.

I'm just being the artist that I would have loved if I was a child.

Major labels limit you, but I also learned my tricks from getting around that.

I grew up in the dance school my mother owned, and I see everything in body shapes, everything visual.

I have been doing choreography my whole life, and it's so important to make that marriage between music and the body.

I've only covered a few songs because I feel that if you're not going to go beyond the original artist in some way, then don't disrespect what they created.

I've always been an outsider kid. But I had always wanted to be in a group - growing up, I loved bands like the Cranberries and K's Choice.

I've learned that you only become as creative as you possibly can by staying independent.

I always thought music was open to all things.

We get discouraged sometimes when people look at surface only and neglect the message.

Innovation can start with wanting what does not yet exist - and finding a solution - or seeing what does not yet exist - and finding an opportunity.

I'm not working-class: I come from the criminal classes.

Live with no time out.

I like my men like I like my roses . . . by the dozen.

Absolutely, I think coming out has allowed me to align who I am with with my creative self.

I like meat and carbohydrates.

The future is much simpler than you think.

If you think research is expensive, try disease!

I can whistle with my fingers, especially if I have a whistle.

There is no excitement anywhere in the world, short of war, to match the excitement of the American presidential campaign.
