My records are borderline dance records. They've got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there's a lot of people that were like, 'This is a dance record.'

My fans are who I am. You give meaning to my life. You will never know the connection I feel to you.

I live between fantasy and reality at all times. In that way, I’m a librarian.

I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me.

You're love is nothing I can't fight. Can't sleep with a man who dims my shine.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they're not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don't care about money, and that's not my problem.

I love my friends and my past, and it's made me who I am.
