I think people need to have fun with whatever they're doing - makeup, their clothes, music, live shows - anything you don't need to take too seriously, don't take too seriously.
My band and I, we cover our bodies in hairspray and glitter. We use the hairspray to make sure the glitter sticks.
I can't walk in high heels, never mind dance in them.
I'm responsible.
I wouldn't have a No. 1 record or song if I wasn't a hardworking person.
It can bum you out when your intentions aren't, like, translated properly.
It's about time that society accepts people for who they are.
You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair.
I do think I have a rebellious, metal-loving rock chick inside of me.
It's not acceptable to torture people for being themselves.Collection: People

I don’t love just men. I love people. It’s not about a gender. It’s just about the spirit that exudes from that other person you’re with.Collection: Men
I'm obsessed with beards. First of all, beards make you look like more of an animal. Second, I kind of like biting beards; it's a pastime of mine. And when I make out with a dude who has a beard - who are the only kinds of dudes I make out with - then my glitter gets stuck in their beards, and then no other chick will make out with them for at least three days.Collection: Animal
I'm just honest about the things I believe in. For instance, I went to a past-life regressionist, and he told me that in my past life I was assassinated. I'm pretty sure that I was JFK in my past life.Collection: Believe
I think a lot of people can get wrapped up in comparing themselves. And that's when the tragic downfall comes, because there will always be someone more beautiful.Collection: Beautiful
I was dating a guy once who spoke rudely to a taxi driver. I got out of the cab and walked home. Treat people with respect. I've waited tables, and that's why I just exceedingly overtip. It's exhausting work.Collection: Home
When the clock Tick Tocks the party never stops!Collection: Party
My favorite wild animal is a narwhal - the unicorn of the sea. It’s a whale with a tooth that sticks out of its head that’s almost two-thirds the length of its entire body.Collection: Animal
So many people say, 'So, what, are you a party girl?' And I say, 'I'm a walking good time.' Do I sometimes go out and drink? Hell, yes. But could I have a number one song if I wasn't also working hard? Maybe that needs a little more respect.Collection: Girl
I would love to embody the attitude of Iggy Pop or Keith Richards: a ballsy mentality. Stylistically, I love Vivienne Westwood - those capes! I'm obsessed.Collection: Attitude
The people who come to my shows have dollar signs drawn all over them. They have blue lipstick. I call them my animals because they just go totally mental.Collection: Animal

Making my last record, Warrior, was a pretty miserable process, and it wore my spirit down. I was fighting like hell to keep my whole irreverent essence and everything raw and visceral that I stand for in it, but in the end I was promoting something that wasn't the animal I wanted it to be. I decided to face my problem head-on.Collection: Fighting
I am leading a war against the British Empire. I'm not worried about what Democratic Party hacks say or do.Collection: War

My mom and I are very honest with each other, almost to a fault. But that's just the way I am in life. If you listen to my record, I'm just honest about stupid stuff most normal people wouldn't put in a pop song.Collection: Mom
Parents should not let kids listen to my music if it's offensive. I wrote these songs for me.Collection: Song
I want people to think that I'm a magical, weird-looking freak of nature, but they really see me as a sexy Amazon jungle cat. That makes sense - I'm a little bit of both, but I definitely lean toward the narwhal side of the equation.Collection: Sexy
I feel like my music stands for the ultimate statement of irreverence.Collection: Irreverence
I try to show the freedom to be yourself, unapologetically and irreverently.Collection: Being Yourself
I wear [American flag] all the time. It represents my freedom to speak about exactly what I want to, whenever I want to.Collection: Want
That depends. You’ve got to define ‘party girl.’ If you mean I’m a walking good time, then hells yeah. But I’m not wasted and stumbling out of clubs and getting DUIs. I’m not that kind of party girl. I may be blonde and fun as balls, but I’m not a moron.Collection: Girl
Somebody sent me their tooth, which I now wear as an earring. It's a molar, I think. I love it when people send me body parts.Collection: Thinking

Life is short and the nights are long, and tonight I moved on.Collection: Life Is Short
I don't even think of myself as a quote, unquote star - that's really douchey. I think of myself as just like . . . a dance commander. You have to have dance parties all day and night, and you always have to be excited about having a dance party. You have to have a dance party in Milan one day, and then wake up and have a dance party at, like, four in the morning on national television in L.A. the next day. The hours are insane.Collection: Morning
I listen to a lot of rap where men talk a certain way about women and I'm not offended. It's meant to be funny. I'm throwing it right back at them with humor, but some people can't take it. They're not used to women talking back.Collection: Rap
