I like to do something I fear.

In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.

From 18 to 22, I was alone, living in L.A. with a bunch of friends, partying.

I'm in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.

But the paparazzi are quite malicious and vocal and really rude, ... And they camped outside of my house, so I started throwing eggs at them, lobbing them at rocks next to them.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they're dancing and singing. As long as you're having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they're gonna feel that.

I'm sure drugs and alcohol perhaps would inspire new thoughts, but it's certainly not something that I use as a tool or a mechanism to create.
