I was sheltered, and there's good and bad to that. The good was not getting into the drugs and the alcohol and the really sorry stuff, and the bad was finally coming out into the real world and trying to deal with it, which was hard for me.

If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant.

No word is absolutely wrong or dirty or insulting. It all depends upon context and intention.

When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.

I'm scared to fall in love, afraid to love so fast, cuz everytime I fall in love, it seems to never last.

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

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