I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.

I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage.

I went through a huge transition in my life where everything and everyone I knew and trusted didn't turn out to be that way.

Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody.

I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.

Anybody in the spotlight can get lost in that if they are not careful.
