By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.

I'm shy, although I'm not shy with my friends and family.

I've always been a tomboy. I've always liked to wear red, black, and white, and mostly pants.

Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.

I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.

All those songs reflect all the people that live within me.

The pain is necessary. Sometimes pain is the teacher we require, a hidden gift of healing and hope.
