Kesha is an Actor

I never want to be pretentious.

I don't wear a lot of high heels.

I'm a singer and a writer first. I started to rap by accident, being playful.

I do love country music.

I have haters. I have so many haters.

My makeup is usually left over from the night before.

I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people. Show less «

I'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice. Show less «

Of course there are certain things that get to me, but I try and lead by example and show people that, especially with haters, that you should just ignore them. Show less «

Every weird thing about you is beautiful and makes life interesting.

I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.

It's about time that society accepts people for who they are.

You never know what an artist is going to create next.

I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I'm not saying I'm the perfect role model. But I'm honest. Period.

I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor.

I'm responsible.

I've done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro.

Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I'm still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal. Show less «

When you're around me, you're going to get glitter on you.

I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money.

One fan sent me one tooth, so I made a necklace out of it. But then I found a bunch of my baby teeth, and started realizing I would love to wear a piece of my fans' bodies on me. Show less «

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. Show less «

I'm pretty sure that I was JFK in my past life.

I plan on making a lot more records, and hopefully one of them will be Grammy worthy.

I try to get in quiet time and book time, but really, the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying, but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep, and it's the only time I get to read. Show less «

I think I am really irreverent and I pretty much just talk to and about men the way men talk to and about women. Show less «

I put on the best live show, the absolute best live show I can possibly can.

I wouldn't have a No. 1 record or song if I wasn't a hardworking person.

I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis.

I want a pig. I want a pig on a leash. A baby pig on a leash.

I am a huge fan of the transgender community.

If you want to be a legitimate artist, it's more important what you say no to.

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

I like vintage a lot.

I love wearing the exact same thing all the time because I think it makes you like a cartoon character. They always wear the same outfit and everybody always remembers them for it, so I feel like I should do the same thing. Show less «

My show is a sensory assault... in a very brief manner - the show is only 25 minutes long.

I am so not a proper, good female. I can't dance in high heels and I'm just so not girly, but then I see these men with these banging bodies, dancing in heels, singing, and having so much fun with so much make-up on. That makes me honestly want to be a better woman. Show less «

I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.

I'm over dudes trying to look like they're in boy bands.

I have rock 'n' roll pumping through my veins.

I don't get embarrassed.

You really can't stereotype people or put them in boxes, it's unfair.

I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the time and be a raw animal.

Just because I'm sassy and have a mouth on me doesn't mean I'm coming from a negative place.

My mother taught me how to write.

I went through awkward, chubby, total weirdo phases.

I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.

I understand I'm supposed to be feminine and dainty, but I'm not. There are two sides to the coin. People are more impressed with things that I do because they almost treat you as if you're handicapped if you're a woman... people can be impressed that I can play a few chords on the guitar. Show less «

Be yourself. Unapologetically.

I do think I have a rebellious, metal-loving rock chick inside of me.

Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.

What I'm doing is art - it's low-brow art but there's a magic in that.

It can bum you out when your intentions aren't, like, translated properly.

A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert, and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me, then makes it into clothes. I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs, I'd feel honored. Show less «
