“I’d love to have time to do my hair, honestly. I’d love to be Victoria Beckham just for one day – to look that good. But I can’t.”

I’d rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars.

We hate so fast and we love too slow.

It takes a lot of people years to turn a negative into a positive. It takes me, like, an album.

The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It’s the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it – no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.

Big productions, to me, are great – like, I love going to Vegas and seeing shows – but I think that sometimes it’s distracting, especially when you are there to listen to the music.

My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me.

This life gets lonely when everybody wants something.

For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, ‘Wait, I’m doing what I want to be doing. I’m not wanting to do it; I’m doing it.’ And that’s awesome.

Change the voices in your head. Make them like you instead.

My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that’s all I need in life.

You can’t be creative when you’re completely happy.

Gotta get up and try.

I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying.

Sage is cleansing and sacred.

When I first appeared, people couldn’t figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

I’ve learned I’m not lying by not saying anything, so I just don’t say it anymore.

Remember her hair in the morning before it was pinned, black, rampant, savage with loveliness. As if she slept in perpetual storm.

But if you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for.

I was horrified to find out that a startling percentage of women, even in Bengaluru, do not go out or wash their hair during their periods.

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard? Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

If Dracula can’t see his reflection in a mirror, how come his hair is always so neatly combed?

Hug me like the wind does healing my heart, calming my soul, while it wraps every inch of me. Caressing my hair, it gives me goosebumps, as it whispers something that takes my breath away.

So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I’ll say, ‘That’s right, keep the same haircut for ten years.’ How fun is that?

Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look – all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that’s what excites me.
