I think you can have it all, you just have to work really hard because great things don't come easily.

I missed out on the Spice Girls. I missed out on all those big pop phenomenon and missed out even on the Madonna records. It's okay, cuz I'm playing catch-up on everything now.

What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it. But celebrity does not equal creativity.

With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.

I see everything through a spiritual lens.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

There's a spark in you you've just gotta ignite the light and let it SHINE.
