I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.

My lips, I've used collagen. I line my lips with collagen.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.

As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, I am all colors in the rainbow. I've been through everything, you know, so I can write a positive song like 'Better Get to Livin'' because that's my attitude. But that doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. You can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. You kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. The fear I might get hurt means I might not be able to write another song.

I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.

I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.
