I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad.

I was really beating myself up about performances and how I looked and this and that.

People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.

I have crushes on women all the time.

For me, one of the important things about keeping vocally healthy is warming up and making sure I'm aware where my voice is at, drinking lots of water and getting plenty of sleep, and just taking care of myself with exercise and eating healthy.
