In our house we don't use words like "despise" and 'hate,' we say "strongly dislike."

Sometimes I was in a mood to write a song as if I was writing in my journal and reveal certain parts of me that I was ready to reveal.

I don't even remember why I called myself an idiot. I can be very harshly critical of myself. It depends on my mood, and obviously it depends on where I am in my life. Yes, embracing myself - I'm working on that.

I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

I think you can be defiant and rebellious and still be strong and positive.

It amazes me when I talk to people in their early 20s and they've never read the classics, things we read as children. When you don't have knowledge and understanding, then fear rises in you.

I wouldn't have turned out the way I was if I didn't have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.
