I went to see 'Phantom of the Opera' with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage, the voice, the music... Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time - the storytelling, that deliciously somber undertone in his music.
I used to walk down the street like I was a super star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.
I'm not one icon. I'm every icon. I'm an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.
My new year's resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.
People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.
At the end of the day, you won't be happy unil you love yourself.
You can be whoever you choose to become in the future, just do it. Just see it and visualize it and every day of your life project that about yourself.
I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.
I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent's house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.
I see love in black and white. Passion in shades of “gris”. But when it comes to you and I, color is all I see.
I will always have a very deep love for Amy Winehouse.
Depression doesn't take away your talents - it just makes them harder to find.
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.
Pop music will never be low brow.
