I was really selfish, and I didn't want to listen to anyone. Then I started working with some really amazing people, traveling more, and figuring out who I was as a person - looking at different things, listening to different music.

I feel like the worst fashion moments of the '90s were kind of the best.

I'm someone who admires artists like Madonna and David Bowie, who really change their sound drastically between each record.

I have a dark side. I think everyone does.

I really don’t care what people think.

Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.

I started writing my own things when I was about 8. I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground. Then I realized, Oh god, my career's going nowhere, so I looked in the Yellow Pages and phoned up the first cheap studio that I found and started recording.
