I always thought music was open to all things.

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.

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

And as to experience-well, think how little some good poets have had, or how much some bad ones have.

Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.

I wasn't the guy everyone liked. I was the guy that wouldn't shut up.

The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing. What a mistake that would be.

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

Jeez, Claire. If I didn't love you, you'd scare me.

Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful quotes each and every day...Some days, it's the nicest thing I hear all day....Muah.

The time has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism.

A man I am cross'd with adversity.
