I've Had Grand Pianos That Are More

There's This Idea That It's All Natural, But Everything's Been Staged To Look Natural. It Is Also An Invention. It's Just That My Inventions Are Different. I Often Get Asked About My Artifice, But Isn't Fashion Based On The Idea That We Can Create A Fantasy?

Amidst All Of These Flashing Lights I Pray The Fame Won't Take My Life.

I Was Very Depressed When I Was 19... I Would Go Back To My Apartment Every Day And I Would Just Sit There. It Was Quiet And It Was Lonely. It Was Still. It Was Just My Piano And Myself. I Had A Television And I Would Leave It On All The Time Just To Feel Like Somebody Was Hanging Out With Me.

The Whole Point Of What I Do - The Monster Ball, The Music, The Performance Art Aspect Of It, I Wanna Create A Space For My Fans Where They Can Feel Free And They Can Celebrate Because I Didn't Fit In In High School And I Felt Like A Freak, So I Like To Create This Atmosphere For My Fans Where They Feel Like They Have A Freak In Me To Hang Out With And They Don't Feel Alone.

I Used To Get Made Fun Of For Being Either Too Provocative Or Too Eccentric, So I Started To Tone It Down. I Didn't Fit In, And I Felt Like A Freak.
