I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.

If I'm alone too long I think too much, and I'm not interested in doing that. That won't lead anywhere good, I'm sure. If I'm busy I tend to stay out of trouble. An idle mind is the devil's playground.

I always loved singing and writing poetry. I always loved music, and I’ve loved writing my whole life. When I put them together it was probably in my early 20s, where I put words to music for the first time.

Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now.

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

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

I've been through a lot of stuff.
