I'm very protective of how much I let people see.

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.

Etta James is my all-time favorite singer. I've said it in every interview, in every story, in every on- and off-camera question. That music was always such a huge escape for me, even from a young age.

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show who I am inside?

For me the visual is just as important as the music.

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

I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century, waiting for someone to release me.
