The way that I sing, what I sing about, what I wear, who I am, this is me. I was born this way.

I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

Prejudice is a disease. So is fashion. But I will not wear prejudice.

There's this idea that it's all natural, but everything's been staged to look natural. It is also an invention. It's just that my inventions are different. I often get asked about my artifice, but isn't fashion based on the idea that we can create a fantasy?

I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music. I think they're very intertwined.
