I believe in free love and that's just how I feel. It's just my experience of being with different kinds of men and being born without a preference for a certain type of person. For me, that is my story in finding love in lots of different people, and that's been the second biggest influence in my music.

With some of the bad things that come with love, there's also a lot of good. For example that connection... which I struggle to have with most people.

I just look for someone who makes me feel like life is an exciting opportunity and, you know, just like to be alive.

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.

Einstein said 'your imagination is more important than intelligence,' and I have a very, very big imagination.

I believe that there is no doubts about who I am, an artist who loves music, above everything.
