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.

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

Only once you destroy who you think you are can you embrace who you truly are.

There is so much freedom in not having to choose.

Be the designer of your own future.

The dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on

When I go and work with people, I never say, 'Your dog is changed for the rest of its life.' It's like a diet. You've got to maintain a discipline and ritual in your life to keep a certain figure.

The only way to be happy is to realise how much depends on how you look at things

A conservative, a liberal, and a moderate walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'Hi, Mitt.'

It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.

Charlotte Corday walked alone Paris birds sang sugar calls Charlotte walked down lanes of stone through the haze of perfume stalls Charlotte smelt the dead's gangrene Heard the singing guillotine

We're still just the world's premium brand of ape.
