I'm A Believer That The More I'm

The Colors Black And White Are My Uniform, To Honor The Working Class. People Like My Parents, Who Were Janitors And Had To Wear A Uniform Every Day. It Keeps Me Grounded.

I Speak About Androids Because I Think The Android Represents The New 'other.' You Can Compare It To Being A Lesbian Or Being A Gay Man Or Being A Black Woman ... What I Want Is For People Who Feel Oppressed Or Feel Like The 'other' To Connect With The Music And To Feel Like, 'she Represents Who I Am.'

I Hope Women Feel Confident With Themselves And Realize That We Don't All Have To Look Alike Or Be The Same Size To Be Beautiful. I Hope They Feel Like Representing What It Means To Be An Individual And To Remain Comfortable In Your Own Skin.

I'm Always Thinking About Young People First When I'm Writing Music. Whenever I Can Reach That Young Person And Inspire Them To Go After Their Own Dreams, Start Their Own Movement Just Like I Did With Wondaland. Starting Their Own Tribe And Showing People That We Are Not All The Same, We're Not All Monolithic. I Think That's What It's All About For Me.

I Know What I Like; If You Go To My Closet, I Have At Least Four Of Everything.
