I went to see 'Phantom of the Opera' with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage, the voice, the music?... Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time - the storytelling, that deliciously somber undertone in his music.

Prejudice is a disease. And when they come for you, or refuse your worth, I will be ready for their stones. I belong to you.

Do you know the feeling, when your heart is so hurt, that you could feel the blood dripping?

I was so ashamed of who I was.

Don't judge anyone but don't trust anyone.

So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.
