Try and fail, but never fail to try!
No, I don’t wear contacts, and contrary to what some people have said, I do not have a glass eye.
There are some people who might look better if you smacked them in the head with a baseball bat.
This is an industry [high fashion] that has an abundance of over-confidence. I don't think anyone would dispute that, and I'm not trying to pick on anybody, but that's just a fact, right? And sometimes that's fun.
I’m not insane, I’m voluntarily indifferent to conventional rationality.
Just jump in with both feet and live your life, no matter what.
When I was a kid, I used to live in New York City. There was a guy named Michael Alig. He used to throw parties. And a couple of times, I even worked for him and his crew, and handed out fliers, and had my super-high shoes on, and wearing silver Saran Wrap around my head or something. It's a world I was really comfortable in: a world full of individuals. I think what I like about that world - besides my own personal interests - is the individualism, the investment in the self.
A little ego can be quite entertaining. But [Alessandro Michele is] a very humble, gentle, kind person. And I think that his humanity would probably surprise a lot of people, because he's so confident and bold in the choices that he makes.
You know it's a perverted crowd when a guy is screaming at you to take your shirt off.
The challenges and how we deal with them: that's what defines us. Problems don't define us; it's our ability to overcome and transform.
I win and succeed only 'cause I fail so much. I fail all the time. I wrote 70 songs just to have 12 good ones. For the video I shot 60 hours of footage. 60 hours! To come up with an 8 minute video. So really I only win 'cause I fail.
It’s about getting to a point in your life where you’re ready to let go and move on and become the better version of yourself.
It’s funny. I don’t like onions but I like onion rings. What’s up with that?
It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.
