I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.

As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.

For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.

I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.

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.

In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement.

If someone hates or loves something, then right on. I can't rob them of that. I'm not going to try and change their mind. Something's been triggered in them to react so emotionally.
