I was ashamed to let anyone know that I was living in a shelter. I remember one time coming home and some kids saw me and were like, "What you doing here? This is a shelter!" But I was like, "My mom's working there." It was pretty embarrassing.

I didn't want to be a loser, but I didn't want to fit in at the same time because I don't like just being ordinary. So it's one of those situations where I always kept my head up.

Rihanna is a pothead and so am I, so we're real cool. Weed is going to bring us together as a generation. Drugs is what created Woodstock. Let's be clear about that.

I'm a people's person, believe it or not. I just have a dark side to me, which we all do.

I'm not a gay rights activist.

I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I'm onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.

It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry.
