A lot of truth is said in jest.

Certainly I'm not going to sit on the Internet all day and read what Sam from Iowa is saying about me. But I'm a sponge. I've always been a sponge.

I'm hatin' my reflection, I walk around the house tryin' to fight mirrors, I can't stand what I look like

A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

They say music can alter moods and talk to you.
