Nothing that you do will ever feel good if you let people convince you that you have no choice.

How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?

I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs. Now, rather than trying to talk or do a costume change, I'll use those moments for myself. I listen to what other people are playing, or just rest, or dance, even though I don't know how to.

But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.

Most of the time you need something to fight against. If something is bothering me, then the only way to get past it is to work through it.

No matter how well prepared you are in life, you're gonna fall down a hole, and if you can fix the frayed ends of things, then you're better off.

I'm a tulip in a cup. I stand no chance of growing up
