Color has always evoked emotion for me: visually, internally, emotionally.

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.

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 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.

Sometimes I wonder if any of us are cut out for the lives we lead.

If we try to emulate the leadership style of others we perceive as successful, we end up being second-rate versions of someone else.

If life must not be taken too seriously - then so neither must death.

One does not study for a goal. The goal is a mere accident.

It's been very important for me to follow my gut or my heart, or whichever organ you want to go by.

The journey of life - we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.

I'm a monster, not a moron.

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you! Don't you try and teach me no original sin; I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

Just take our name off the list. . . . The nomination is meaningless, because it's not voted on by the fans . . . .

Stereotypes, I want to say, have to be thought of not just as these invidious, bad things that we could get rid of, but as images that we cannot get rid of, that we have to live with.
