Target is one of the best at really listening to the artist and understanding what they are about.

There's always a positive to those negative times, because you come out of it so much stronger and wiser. Strength comes from every hardship, and it's been a lesson for me.

I enjoy real people, down-to-earth people who are true to themselves and honest to your face - good or bad.

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.

Fashion is a lifestyle, it's a choice,it's a freedom of expression.You have to live it, you have to love it. You have to breathe it. Life's all about love and glamour.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.
