I've had grand pianos that are more expensive than, like, a year's worth of rent.
I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have.
I just want my family to be safe. Because I am sometimes polarizing, I fear for their safety.
It's an endless proving of myself, that I really am a musician, that I have something to offer in the room. That women can be musicians, women can be rock stars, women can be more than an objectified idea of a pop star.
What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope... It is not a reflection of all religious people.
History shows us that in times of people feeling like they are in need of some sort of rebellion or protests, the artists rise because the poetry we create about pain and its relationship to culture in the world begins to soothe and heal people who are feeling confused or afraid.
I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.
A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.
Returning to your family and where you came from, and your history... this is what makes you strong. It's not looking out that's going to do that - it's looking in.
I'm drawn to bad romances.
I'm not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.
I've been searching for ways to heal myself, and I've found that kindness is the best way.
I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don't live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans.
I don't like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I'm from New York. I will kill to get what I need.
I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.
I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.
There is spontaneity to my work.
I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.
I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what's happening on the outside.
I'm terrified of therapy because I don't want it to mess with my creativity.
