The self-confidence one builds from achieving difficult things and accomplishing goals is the most beautiful thing of all.

Hanging a noose on my door reeks of cowardice and fear on many, many levels.

I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl, I tried to be a mess.

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.

I feel like I've survived so much, and been through so much. And sometimes I miss the innocence of those times. Life was different. New York was different. The music business was different. I miss the simplicity of it, the naivete of everyone around me.

The one thing I don't understand is when people make comments who are clearly not fans of mine. I think, why are you here? Why are you wasting your time? It's fascinating.

Power without guilt, love without doubt.
