Applause was designed to bemuse and confuse you until it explodes into a chorus that reminds us why we love pop music.
Put your hands up and cheer for yourselves! You are strong, you are brave, you are confident, and I f*ing love you, Israel.
It takes time to become myself every morning.
People think I'm unusual but it's just that we haven't had anyone like this since the Seventies.
I realized my father's sister Joanne, who died at 19 had instilled her spirit in me.
It's honestly true that money means nothing to me.
Love is an interesting thing. Perhaps I've never been in love before - I don't really know? I think I have. I guess it's subjective in that way.
My records are borderline dance records. They've got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there's a lot of people that were like, 'This is a dance record.'
Don't say I hate institutionalised religion - rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I'm saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?
People want you to fail.
Why spend your whole life trying to be somebody that you're not? It's so much more fun to be yourself **** what everybody says.
