I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it.

I saw my whole life in front of me, and I had to let go of past things that I was trying to hold on to that were dark in my life.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.

I want to go to Egypt and Japan and open orphanages... a chain of them.

I hate children! I hate them all!

It's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong.
