It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down.

I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.

I've never tried pot; I've never tried anything.

I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.

I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.

I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.

People do see me as sweet and innocent. Not to say that I am not those things. But I have other sides to me.
