I've learned that all you can be in this world is you. No matter how much you mess with yourself, with surgery or you know, clothes or cut your hair differently or how much you wish and pray and dream that you're gonna wake up as someone else, it's never gonna happen. You have one life and one opportunity, and all you can be is the best you.

Even now I don't consider myself skinny, but I have put a lot of hard work into my body over the years, and in the process, I've really learned to love myself.

I think I take my style from all walks of life, and all generations and decades of life as well. I love mixing '50s with '80s and classic with punk.

I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music

I still find it tough to be around girls because I always say the wrong thing. If a friend asks me if I look fat in something, I'll be honest and say 'Yeah' when she does.

Pilates is amazing, my posture is so much better and I'm even starting to get muscles on my tummy - it's incredible.

I go on the Internet and look at old pictures of myself, because it is the best reminder of how far I have come and where I do not want to be.
