Every day of my life is going out in public and seeing people's lives and listening to stories - all that kind of stuff musically inspires me.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky, there would be no love in my life, there'd be no world left of me.

Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

I grew up having to care what people think; it was part of my job.I've been built up and torn down, built up and torn down. It's been difficult to tune people out, especially in the las few years. Now i'm starting to care more about me and not what everybody else thinks.

I refuse to discuss tabloid rumors.

The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.
