I did go through a Goth thing, but that was a long time ago. I just like artists that shake it up, that piss people off or make people think or rattle the cage somehow.

A couple of months ago I hauled my white ass on stage alongside Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder for Divas Las Vegas, singing in front of a celebrity audience. If I can hold my own there, I can hold my own at Top of the Pops, trust me.

I don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.

I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.

I work because I think that I wouldn't feel good about myself unless I was contributing.

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.

I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane.
