When you're young, it's so easy to get bull-dozed.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.

I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.

I try to stay focused on my creativity.

I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home. At a really young age, I decided I was never going to feel helpless, I was never going to feel weak around a man, and I was never going to rely on anyone. Independence was a big, big thing for me.

I think you can really gauge my state of mind by listening to my albums.
