Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women.

The real beauty - inside, it comes from the heart, where love lives. If not, even the most common facial features can not hide the emptiness, which eventually pushes people.

I am very honest, even in interviews.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same. And I still remember how you kept me so afraid.

All I want to do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let me be that way.
