Working in this industry, I have been exposed to so many products and now realize more than ever how cruel and unnecessary animal testing is.

I've always been into bearded dudes.

I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.

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

I was very studious.

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

You're an animal, you live, maybe this one time is your lifetime - go there. Who cares what somebody else thinks?

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 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.

I do love country music.

I've done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro.

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 love it when people send me body parts.

I am a huge fan of the transgender community.

I do my laundry on a weekly basis.

I try to get in quiet time and book time, but really, the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying, but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep, and it's the only time I get to read.

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

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.

I do think I have a rebellious, metal-loving rock chick inside of me.

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'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice.

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.

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

I just like playing with makeup and clothes - so I really don't feel like there are rules, and if there are rules, then I think it's up to you to break them.

All men that date me have to know that their name may end up in a pop song.

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 do destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis.

I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people.

My mother taught me how to write.

It's about time that society accepts people for who they are.

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

Every weird thing about you is beautiful and makes life interesting.

My music is fun, kind of cheeky.

I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up.

I put on the best live show, the absolute best live show I can possibly can.

I think there's a good pop song in pretty much anything.

I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor.

Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I'm still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal.

There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.

I never want to be pretentious.

I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written.

I wanted to make youthful, irreverent anthems. Parents might not get it, but kids would.

I don't get embarrassed.

I don't wear a lot of high heels.
