I'd just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.

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

I'm just trying to get rid of all the mystery surrounding me and let people see what I'm thinking. So they can understand me and stop assuming things about me.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.
