People want you to fail.
I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?
I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before.
I started when I was really young. I was playing classical music when I was 4 and when I turned 11 I started to write pop music. I guess you could say it was my intellectual evolution and my love of music began to change.
The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.
I was changing my outfits, my looks, my wig, sometimes several times a day. That’s when I know my soul is restless.
I actually don’t want a throne at all, because I don’t view myself as a queen; I view myself as one of my fans.
I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, ’cause I’m very smart.
I don’t know that my schooling was conducive to wild ideas and creativity, but it gave me discipline, drive. They taught me how to think. I really know how to think.
Hair is about when you’re younger. I am my hair.
Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.
I love my friends and my past, and it’s made me who I am.
In my work and what I do, I am Queen of the Universe every day!
I’ve worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.
Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.
My records are borderline dance records. They’ve got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there’s a lot of people that were like, ‘This is a dance record.’
It’s honestly true that money means nothing to me.
It has been hard for me to find it, but I have found love.
If I can be a leader, I will.
I think a lot of people love to convolute what everyone else does in order to disempower women.
