I Love Country Music, Blues, And Punk,

I Don't Even Think Of Myself As A Quote, Unquote Star - That's Really Douchey. I Think Of Myself As Just Like . . . A Dance Commander. You Have To Have Dance Parties All Day And Night, And You Always Have To Be Excited About Having A Dance Party. You Have To Have A Dance Party In Milan One Day, And Then Wake Up And Have A Dance Party At, Like, Four In The Morning On National Television In L.a. The Next Day. The Hours Are Insane.

I Wear [american Flag] All The Time. It Represents My Freedom To Speak About Exactly What I Want To, Whenever I Want To.

The People Who Come To My Shows Have Dollar Signs Drawn All Over Them. They Have Blue Lipstick. I Call Them My Animals Because They Just Go Totally Mental.

I Think People Can Stand To Take Themselves Just A Little Less Seriously. I'm Fighting The War Against Pretension.

What I'm Bringing To The Pop Table Is That I'm Not Pretentious. I'm Fighting This War Against All That Because Pop Music, In My Opinion, Should Be Fun.
