My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.
It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.
Dirty pony, I can't wait to hose you down.
love is just a history that they may prove and when your gone ill tell them my religion is you
Applause was designed to bemuse and confuse you until it explodes into a chorus that reminds us why we love pop music.
My fashion is my most prized possession for two reasons: 1) because it is a visualization of all the hard work I've put in to get where I am today; 2) because it is a legend to the encyclopedia of my life. It is exactly what I've aimed to seep into the artistic consciousness of people all over the world - that life is an art form.
My mom once said, "You are fiercely protective of your inventions because you are your fans." She helped me understand my own feelings. When someone has pulled the wool over my eyes, I feel that they have pulled the wool over the eyes of millions of fans around the world. She helped me to forgive. You can't force people to have the same world consciousness and awareness as you do.
I'm always trying to create something that the fans won't expect.
I don't view interviewing as much of a performance. My whole life is in essence a performance but singing and dancing for television is an entirely different thing.
No matter how many people are screaming your name or how many Number One hits you have, you can still wake up and feel like a loser.
I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that's what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage.
The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me - from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots. I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life.
I am a woman of theatre, I'm a librarian of theatre and I love all different kinds of music and all different kinds of expressions.
I am completely 100 percent honest in what I do and who I am, and I've got nothing to hide.
