Man, man, I didn't prepare a speech and I'm sorry, but I'm glad that I
didn't. Because I'm not going to do this like everybody else does it.
'Cause everybody that I should be thanking, I'm really sorry but I have to
use this time. See, Maya Angelou said that we...we as human beings at
our best can only create...opportunities, and I'm going to use this
opportunity the way that I want to use it. So what I want to say
is...um...everybody out there that's watching, everybody that's watching
this world...this world is bullshit, and you shouldn't model your
life...wait a sec...you shouldn't model your life about what you think we
think is cool, even though I have an eating disorder and I have somehow
sold out to the patriarchy in this culture that says that lean is better.
Even though I have done that and I have done a video wherein I wear
underwear, so that you young girls can covet and feel bad about what you
have and how thin you're not. The point is I have done it, I am lean.
That's why I did succeed sooner than maybe other musicians that maybe were
better songwriters, I don't know, better lyricists, better vocals, I can't
say that. But I do know this. This world is bullshi...did I say that
this world is bullshit, 'cause it is. And my boyfriend can make you
disappear. He can pull something out of your ear and say things like, "We
have not met before, have we?" Go with yourself.
