I don't have anything to hide but what happens is the media tend to beat up what I say.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

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.

Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.

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

I talk openly about my past and what I've gone through - abuse being something that was very real in my household, and a lot of chaos growing up as a child. I think that I naturally just gravitated towards music that I could really feel on a deep level - and that meant sadness. I was able to connect with that at a really young age.

Getting older, you just don't want to sing fluffy.
