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

It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.

I definitely love women. They are more attractive to the naked eye.

That's why I wrote 'Fighter'. I have that need in me to help people. I am all about the underdog.

The artists I look up to are the ones who push their own limits.

If I was having a bad day, or if something was really getting me down -- boy troubles, whatever -- I wanted to go out and get a new piercing. It was definitely a release for me. Something that made me feel a little more strong or empowered. Because it was something that had to do with me and no one else.

It's a big responsibility to help someone express themselves as an artist.
