From a really young age, I was into female empowerment and supporting the underdog. Right now, I'm into female vengeance.

I came out of the womb waving red lipstick.

The awesome thing about being an artist? You can't be fired from your own mind.

It's my job to spread deviance to the American youth.

I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that.

I think working with artists is incredibly important for everybody in the world, but also, it is a way of seeing the world differently.

Science is progressing at such a rapid rate that when you make a prediction and think you are ahead of your time by 100 years you may be ahead of your time by 10 at most.
