Hodgkin's is serious and I don't want to be dismissive about it, but there are people who have gone through much worse and lost their lives to cancer.

I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

I like to go into a little shell and be a hermit and make music for a while.

I think it's important to have professional lessons or advice.

I'm not worried any more about changing people's view of me.

I feel I lost my innocence to cancer.
