issues people humanity
I want to appeal to people's sense of humanity and interconnectedness. I feel like I have the platform I'm standing on for a reason. It's not just to make people happy and get people to dance and sing, to feel an escape. It's also to get people to listen and to bring important issues to the forefront.
inspiring thinking laughing
I laugh at myself. I don't take myself completely seriously. I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to... you have to laugh, especially at yourself.
people attention pay
I've always been under scrutiny. But I used to just not really pay attention to what people said.
people attention pay
Sometimes you just have to go and make a mess of things to get people to pay attention.
beautiful growing-up school
I wanted to be a nun. I saw nuns as superstars. When I was growing up I went to a Catholic school, and the nuns, to me, were these superhuman, beautiful, fantastic people.
self years judging
After years and years of everybody commenting on the way I look and dress and being photographed, one starts to become self-conscious and starts to plan things more. You end up judging yourself more, what looks good and what doesn't.
talking phones rooms
I can't stand when I walk into a room and everyone's not talking to each other and just on their phones.
years sheep hundred
Better to live one year as a tiger, then a hundred as sheep.
taken doors long
Sure, having my pictures taken in the nude and doing things that I did got me in the door but it didn't keep me in the room. To have lasted as long as I've lasted, obviously, I have to have something more going for me.
music kings alive
I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.
thinking creation destruction
I don't think ultimately God punishes. I think we bring about our own destruction or our own creation.
change world want
If you want to change the world, change yourself.
inspirational graduation dream
I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.
enjoy performing shows
There's one thing you can't download and that's a live performance. And I know how to put on a show, and enjoy performing, and I'll always have that.
