I think each human being wants to make their mark on the world in whatever way they can, and maybe everyone has a slight egomaniac inside of them.

I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

When you are with the wrong person, who doesn't really love you, all you want is to be adored. It makes you more inward and needy. Gross.

I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.

I love being alive. I like being a human being.
