I have as much rage as you have, I have as much pain as you do, I've lived as much hell as you have, and I've kept mine bubbling under for you.

Who I am inside determines how I feel about my body instead of the other way around

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.

My brother says that I was writing songs about fate while he was off playing soccer. Now I tell him he's 33 and being a professional while I'm playing soccer with my friends. Ha!

I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.
