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
gonna use this opportunity the way that I wanna use it.
So what I wanna say is, um, everybody out there that's
watching, everybody that's watching in this world. This
world is bullshit and you shouldn't model your...wait a
second, 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 have done a video wherein I wear
underwear so that you young girls out there 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 bullsh...did I say 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.
