Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.

When I'm going through something that has a big impact on my life, it's much easier to sing.

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 have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.

I wrote about what I was going through at the time.

Everything is always spur-of-the-moment. All of my tattoos I decide that second and do it.

Whenever I'm done with an album cycle, I still wanna write music. If I'm bored when I'm at home, which never happens, my first instinct is to go to the piano and bang something out.
