I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image. That's just so not me.

I think that the best way you can get honesty across in your music to connect and relate to people is to be motivated by personal emotions, stories and feelings.

I felt caged by my childhood.

Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it just motivates you for what's next.

The schedule is crazy - it's all suitcases and hotel rooms and you just go nonstop. It's a crazy lifestyle, it really is.

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

My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.
