Inspiration for my music just comes from, you know, my life experiences.

And you fall, and you crawl, and you break, what you get, and you turn it into honesty and promise you're never going to find you're faking, no no no.

I'm getting more famouser by the day!

It's so different now coming out as a new artist today than it was when I came out almost ten years ago. Now, it's all about singles, it's really quick, it's online. I came out when people sold records and they still do today but - I don't know what the key is.

I can be very shy...but when I'm around people I know, I can be extremely loud.

You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness. Because that is the job. I've always understood that's the deal.

Staying true to yourself and trusting your instincts is very important. I've learned this both through creating music, where I've always stayed focused on recording music that is true to who I am and to my fans, and through my recent health struggles, where I knew something more was going on than what I was hearing from different doctors; I had to trust myself and continue to pursue a diagnosis.
