I'm half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times.

Celebrate all the things you don't like about yourself. love yourself.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

I'm confident in who I am. I've come to a place in my life where I've accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That's just the way I've always tried to be. It didn't change when I became a star.

I don't view myself as outrageous - that's not the intention. Its to be more and more original.

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