“I am a living work of art.” She started. “I’m always telling a story whether it’s with my outfits, makeup, or performances.”

“My VMA performance in 2009 was giving people an answer; people always talk about ‘what’s she going to look like when she dies or what’s she going to look like when she overdoses on whatever drugs she’s taking,’ and that’s what I gave them.

“Laying on the stage waiting for the spotlight to illuminate my body, I knew the night would be exhilarating. Adrenaline pumped throughout me. The curtain rose.

All my issues began to vanish and my performance became my world for the moment.”

“I want to change the world and you can’t change the world if you’re just the average.”
