Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.

Don't be a drag.
Just be a queen.

Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

I am focused on the work. I am constantly creating. I am a busy girl. I live and breathe my work. I love what I do. I believe in the message. There's no stopping. I didn't create the fame, the fame created me.

just remember: i love you, and love yourselves. 'cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.
