We live in an epidemic of self-hatred. I see it daily with people coming at me, and they do it to everybody, it's not just me. The hatred is really stemming from them not liking themselves. When you look at it that way, I feel so much empathy and understanding for those people.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

What I enjoy most about going out on stage is seeing all my fans react to my music.
