dark dark-humor
I quite like dark humor.
real want harsh
I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.
play identity roles
I'm interested in how identity is transient. How do we know who we really are, when different situations and environments dictate how we behave? I'm interested in the role we all play. We spend our whole lives becoming ourselves when we are born as no one else.
america obsessed mess
I'm obsessed with the mess that's America.
moving looks pumps
I really like the look of the 1950s, lots of suburban Americana influences. I'm 5'4', so I like kitten heels occasionally because I can move around a bit easier, but pointy-toed pumps are very elongating.
people way living-my-life
I don't really know how to live my life, just like lots of other people don't. I guess you just learn along the way.
kind fit knows
That's when you know you really fit with someone - when you can just sit there and not do anything. Kind of ignoring each other.
hurt believe stills
My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.
crazy impact people
When you are in the studio, you don't have anybody to feed off of; meanwhile, when you are playing live, you interact with people and you feel the energy in the room. When the crowd is going crazy, that definitely impacts your vocal performance. I prefer to sing live.
heart ambitious sides
Electra Heart is the antithesis of everything I stand for. And the point of introducing her and building a concept around her is that she stands for the corrupt side of American ideology, and basically that's the corruption of yourself. My worst fear - that's anyone's worst fear - is to lose myself and become an empty person. And that happens a lot when you're very ambitious.
karma hurt people
Everyone gets dumped and everyone gets hurt and there's karma to love in regards to what you've done to other people.
lying believe thinking
If you believe something enough, it comes true eventually, and that's so true even with lies. If you tell yourself a lie, after a few years you'll think it's true.
thinking particular
There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.
real thinking fake
Fake it, fake your confidence until it's real. I think it's a good way to live most of your life.
