There's backlash about everything I do.

I was, you know, a mess. I totally wanted to kill myself every day.

I still have my same babysitting job, I babysit twice a week.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn't believe in.

I already have success. I had it a long time ago. It's nothing to do with my music. Music is secondary, at this point. The good stuff is really good, but I have success because I'm at peace and I'm a good person in my everyday life and that's important.

I believe in Amy Winehouse. I know she’s not with us anymore but I believe she was who she was and in that way she got it right. I would say an actress like Lauren Bacall also got it right. She never let anyone persuade her to be something she wasn't. She was strong. She always looked like she knew what she was doing.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying.
