I Love Imperfections.

When People Say 'marriage' To Me... It's Always A Means To An End. Everyone's So In A Rush To Define The Relationship.

It's Not That I Don't Like Pants, I Just Choose Not To Wear Them Some Days.

I Often Think People Don't Know What To Think Of Me, And In Fact This Is Precisely The Objective Of Many Of My Creations. Even Back In The Days With Lady Starlight, My Original Partner, We Aimed To Bemuse. This Feeling Of Bemusement - It's Neither Good Nor Bad. It Just Is. Whether Critics Realize It Or Not, They've Been In A Very Long Argument Since My Public Birth.

Akon Is A Very Talented Songwriter To Work With. His Melodies, They're Just Insane. It's Funny, I Think About Him A Lot When I'm Doing My Melodies Because He's So Simple, And He's Just Been Great. He Keeps Me On My Feet, Very Grounded, But He Also Puts Me On A Silver Platter, Which Is Always Very Nice. So It's Been An Incredible Influence. It's Like Every Time You Work With Somebody That's Better That You Are, You Become Greater.

I Don't Want To Face The Reality Of What People Want From A Female Pop Star. Everybody Always Laughs Because I Feel So Much More Comfortable With, Like, A Giant Paper Bag On My Whole Body And Paint On My Face. Sometimes I Try Really Hard To Take It All Off. But Inevitably What's Underneath Is Still Not A Straight Edge. And I Don't Think It Ever Will Be.
