I'm not claiming to appeal to the same people that Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears are going to appeal to. I'm not trying to. I'm doing what I want to do.

People who listen to them properly don't underestimate them. Unfortunately, there's so much about my career and me that distracts people from the actual content of most of my songs.

Looking at my life, it's very clear to me, I lived so selfishly.

We all fall to the floor at some point. It's how you pick yourself up that's the real challenge. Isn't it?

Today I decided to sing in my underwear! No one seemed to mind! #loveyoufromtheinsideout. #artforfreedom

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.

If you have to ask for something more than once or twice, it wasn't yours in the first place. And that's hard to accept when you love someone.
