Miami's not anybody's poor cousin. It's an aspiration to live in this town, not something you have to do to promote yourself like some of the larger cities.

I always went in with a very specific idea of the sound I wanted, and once I'd recorded I'd try and make it sell as much as I could, but I only went in thinking of a sound I wanted. So, it's no surprise to me that he got the hit and I didn't. But what I realized was that he did dress it up nicely, and my god, he does sing on key well.

I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.

Basically, I’m a musical vocalist, but I do voiceover stuff as a sideline, like plumbing or something.

I wasn't so stupid that I didn't realize the implications of what they were saying. In my live work I was going for the quick thrill, rather than spending time concentrating on my voice. I figured I'd get on, make as many quick movement as possible, dance my ass off for five minutes, move into the insult portion of the evening, and then, at the end, create some kind of chaos until the 55 minutes were up.

I'm glad I am crazy, it keeps me trying. I despise trendies, I know they're lying.
