The only thing I don't have is hips.

I wear what I feel and what makes me feel happy.

I have to live authentically at all times. And that's part of what makes me an artist. I'm not scared to do that.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I've been given in life.
-
I never feel that far away from the tabloids.
