thinking way egomaniacs
I think each human being wants to make their mark on the world in whatever way they can, and maybe everyone has a slight egomaniac inside of them.
thinking band world
I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.
thinking people personality
People are complex, and I think it's a huge element of what I do, because you have to balance out the fact that you talk about quite serious things with a sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek humor. That's my personality as well.
thinking personality age
I felt connected with Madonna from a very young age. I think I share a lot of qualities from her personality. I really respect her.
thinking musical-ability people
I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.
thinking people important
I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for 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.
thinking light perfect
Sometimes you feel amazing about life and other times you just feel fat and depressed, so I think it's good to be honest about that and to make light of it, I think humour is important, nobody's perfect.
makeup thinking artist
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
biggest learnt looked madonna pop
I've read every Madonna biography. I've also looked up every pop star to see how they first made it. The biggest thing I learnt was that you have to be pro-active. You can't be scared.
britney connection genuine joking people sexual side spears sweet time
Britney Spears is a big influence. Huge. I think people thought I was joking about that for a long time. But when I was a teenager, there was a genuine connection with this sweet girl who also had this very sexual side that people didn't really want to accept.
everybody instead people share spoil
Everybody is different. Some people like to share more. I just wouldn't want to spoil someone's opinion of me by them knowing me as a person instead of an artist.
