I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage.

I have taken taking my music to labels for years, and everyone just thought it was creepy. They thought the images with the music were weird and verging on psychotic.

I found it hard to make friends in school, because I was a cerebral person.

Sold my soul long ago, nothing left to choose. I will follow Satan. Dancing in the dark.

I'm happy when things are just kind of calm. I love going to the ocean. I love driving. I love going to shows. Just being with people I really have fun with. I love the summer. I'm happy in the summer. Love hot, hot weather. I'm happy when I'm making a record, most of the time.

Love is strange, sometimes it makes you crazy, it can burn or break you down.

I'm not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something about Britney that compelled me - the way she sings and just the way she looks.
