I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.

I was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

Even moving around onstage seemed very artificial. But at the same time you have to make that effort in order to get back to who you are and even accept not moving, if that's who you are.

I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

I used to hate being recognised.

I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.
