I came from a different mind-set growing up, and my mind has changed.

I have multipersonality disorder - in a very good way, of course - when it comes to my fashion choices.

I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do.

I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.

Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.

I'm okay with having bad dance moves. I'm okay with having horrible lower teeth. That's what makes me me, and for some reason it's worked out all right.

I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.
