You shared one of the most intimate things that ever happened to you - falling in love with someone who wasn't brave enough to love you back. Your relieving yourself of your 'secret' is as much about wanting to honestly connect as it is about exhibition. We are all made better by your decision to share publicly.

In the end, you can't censor the truth, especially when it comes packaged in hot music.

When you listen to an album, it shouldn't feel like, "That's the girl song," "That's the club song." I shouldn't know what you're thinking while you're making the song. I don't want to know what the artist is thinking.

Life is a gift, love opens it up.

If you want the old me, go buy my old albums.

I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.

I get my by any means on, whenever there's a drought get your umbrellas out because that's when I brainstorm.
