No one tells me how I live my life, no one tells me who I love, especially not some vindictive prehistoric witch and definitely not the universe, and I'm not gonna let someone else's idea of destiny stop me from loving you, or being with you, or building a future with you; because you are my life.

Interviewer: Is there, like, a story behind that haircut?
SMG: I don't know. I think it broke--my hair. I think it was just in the middle of doing so many things and my hair was literally fried and I think it broke. And I just think no one knew what to do with it. But I also could be totally making that story up right now. I really don't know. I mean, why would someone do that voluntarily to themselves? You know what? I have the answer. I did it voluntarily as a lesson for all of you, so that you didn't have to make that mistake. So you know what? You're welcome. (source)
