I worship F. Scott Fitzgerald and I love his writing.

When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I'm flying.

I don't think ultimately God punishes. I think we bring about our own destruction or our own creation.

My father had to go to work, I used to think he was a jerk. I didn't know his heart was broken, and not another word was spoken.

People think they will wake up one day and I'll be gone. But I'm never going away.

I want to appeal to people's sense of humanity and interconnectedness. I feel like I have the platform I'm standing on for a reason. It's not just to make people happy and get people to dance and sing, to feel an escape. It's also to get people to listen and to bring important issues to the forefront.

I think there probably was a time when I was less provocative. That's when I was married.
