Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.

You dig deep beyond those scars and find that soft tissue again, and you massage and nurture it and bring it to life, little by little, through serving yourself well. I did it through hikes and vitamins and therapy and prayer and good friends.

I just want to make it very clear that I come from very humble beginnings, and I worked for everything!

I have a lot of ambition.

I was not even allowed to mention the name Madonna in my household - just because I think the '80s and '90s were so Madonna-filled. She was going through so many evolutions at that time.

You don't have to feel like a waste of space, your original can not be replaced

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.
