I want to reconnect to my animal life.

I've always been loud and obnoxious and sneaking my way into things, and so I feel like I've snuck my way onto the Lollapalooza lineup, and I'm going to sneak my way into whatever else I get to do.

I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the time and be a raw animal.

I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing.

Everything I write is based on something I've personally experienced, or things that my friends have experienced that I just find horribly entertaining.

I've always been into bearded dudes.

I think I am really irreverent and I pretty much just talk to and about men the way men talk to and about women.

What I'm doing is art - it's low-brow art but there's a magic in that.

I want a pig. I want a pig on a leash. A baby pig on a leash.

I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money.

I was very studious.

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place.

You have to have a sense of humor about life to get through it.

I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.

I do love country music.

I just think that gay men have much better taste than any straight man I have met. I have never gotten any grief about having a good time, being unapologetic, and irreverent from a gay man.

I am a huge fan of the transgender community.

You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair.

I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup, their clothes, music, live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously.

Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.

It can bum you out when your intentions aren't, like, translated properly.

I don't have the best body in the world, but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice.

Be yourself. Unapologetically.

It is so fascinating that someone can commit their whole entire lifestyle to being such a fantastic woman when I'm such a bum about it.

I write about stuff that happens to me, so I try to live as interesting a life as possible.

I have haters. I have so many haters.

What I'm bringing to the pop table is that I'm not pretentious.

My band and I, we cover our bodies in hairspray and glitter. We use the hairspray to make sure the glitter sticks.
