Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.

You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.

When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

I want the deepest, darkest, sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much.

If you don't have any shadows you're not in the light.

I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.

I want women -- and men -- to feel empowered by a deeper and more psychotic part of themselves. The part they're always trying desperately to hide. I want that to become something that they cherish.

I'm telling you a lie in a vicious effort that you will repeat my lie over and over until it becomes true.

I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay.

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.

At the end of the day, you won't be happy until you love yourself.

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.
