I've never, ever labeled myself.
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
I've always said in the press, I can fall in love with a man. I can fall in love with a woman. And I've always said that I have no shame in that.
In the past, it weighed on me because nobody in my family is gay. I had no role models so I had to find my own way.
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
I'm not a great dancer. I know I'm not. But I know that I can move. I can throw shapes, just not in the right order.
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
I can't just listen to music walking down the street unless I have a reason to. I can't just listen to music as a piece of junk in the background. It drives me insane.
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Everything I write is about me.
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
If I really like the smell of something - a piece of tar or my goddaughter's plastic doll - I put a tiny piece in a bottle with a label. I keep them in a fridge in my bathroom.
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
You can't deny your limitations.
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
I think, 'How could anybody mock a good pop song?' It is timeless; it transcends barriers; it breaks down every single type of social barrier that you can possibly have. It can deal with the most difficult subjects, even if it abstracts the subject matter.
