I believe in karma, and I believe if you put out positive vibes to everybody, that's all you're going to get back.

You don't have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool.

I went through awkward, chubby, total weirdo phases.

When you're around me, you're going to get glitter on you.

I'm pretty sure that I was JFK in my past life.

I have rock 'n' roll pumping through my veins.

A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert, and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me, then makes it into clothes. I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs, I'd feel honored.

I'm not saying I'm the perfect role model. But I'm honest. Period.

I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.

I think I am really irreverent and I pretty much just talk to and about men the way men talk to and about women.

I love wearing the exact same thing all the time because I think it makes you like a cartoon character. They always wear the same outfit and everybody always remembers them for it, so I feel like I should do the same thing.

I want a pig. I want a pig on a leash. A baby pig on a leash.

I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun.

I deal with haters on a daily basis.

I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money.

It can bum you out when your intentions aren't, like, translated properly.

One fan sent me one tooth, so I made a necklace out of it. But then I found a bunch of my baby teeth, and started realizing I would love to wear a piece of my fans' bodies on me.

I do have a stylist who helps me shop, because I don't have time to shop.

I don't really plan what comes out of my mouth, and that's what makes most of my lyrics entertaining.

Glitter is my makeup of choice.

I want to reconnect to my animal life.

Society has taught us to suppress certain things and not do certain things.

I'm a singer and a writer first. I started to rap by accident, being playful.

I've always been loud and obnoxious and sneaking my way into things, and so I feel like I've snuck my way onto the Lollapalooza lineup, and I'm going to sneak my way into whatever else I get to do.

I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the time and be a raw animal.

Working in this industry, I have been exposed to so many products and now realize more than ever how cruel and unnecessary animal testing is.

I've always been into bearded dudes.

I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.

What I'm doing is art - it's low-brow art but there's a magic in that.

I was very studious.

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

You're an animal, you live, maybe this one time is your lifetime - go there. Who cares what somebody else thinks?

I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.

I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing.

I do love country music.

I've done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro.

I just think that gay men have much better taste than any straight man I have met. I have never gotten any grief about having a good time, being unapologetic, and irreverent from a gay man.

I love it when people send me body parts.

I am a huge fan of the transgender community.

I do my laundry on a weekly basis.

I try to get in quiet time and book time, but really, the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying, but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep, and it's the only time I get to read.

You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair.

I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup, their clothes, music, live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously.

Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.

I do think I have a rebellious, metal-loving rock chick inside of me.

Be yourself. Unapologetically.

It is so fascinating that someone can commit their whole entire lifestyle to being such a fantastic woman when I'm such a bum about it.

I write about stuff that happens to me, so I try to live as interesting a life as possible.

I'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice.
