I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

Everything's been a struggle for me.

I don't believe songs that try to say everything in a simple slogan.

The way I see it, all the popular singers are strippers.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal, no one has any expectations, I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

I don't need a mirror to see that it's true, cause I'm ugly with a capital U.

I see a long lost home in his eyes. He sees a nice hotel in mine.
