I'm a freak in the fondest way possible.

Being who you are is a lot easier than faking it.

I breeze through Twitter - I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted.

I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.

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.
