I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

It's not that I don't like pants, I just choose not to wear them some days.

I try to not focus on what people expect from me.

I would rather die than have my fans see me without a pair of heels on. And that's show business.

I'm able to laugh now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy to heal over the years, my music's been wonderful for me. But I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19, so ... I went to Catholic school and all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive.

I was changing my outfits, my looks, my wig, sometimes several times a day. That's when I know my soul is restless.

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.
