My mother is everything to me. She's my anchor, she's the person I go to when I need to talk to someone. She is an amazing woman.

I don't think there's going to be a day when I don't think about food or my body, but I'm living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.

Be proud of who you are.

What, I'm supposed to succumb to your ideal image of what this is? No. I'm gonna stand above that and I'm gonna be who I am and be a rolemodel for these girls.

And if you think you're alone. Put on my music. Because I'm going to be there for you.

The fact that you have the ability to stand on stage and sing while you’re crying is so brave.

Bipolar depression really got my life off track, but today I'm proud to say I am living proof that someone can live, love, and be well with bipolar disorder when they get the education, support and treatment they need.
