I am attracted to a thug. I like that quality, but I like the other side of it, too. Because all guys who go around behaving in macho ways are really scared little girls. So you have to look beneath the surface. There's a difference between my ideal man and a man that I'm sexually attracted to, believe me. Therein lies the rub.

My new Boyfriend! Mr. Marmoset Hard and Silent! #peopledontknowthings

I am the result of the good choices I've made and the bad choices.

I want people to be moved, to feel called to action. That's what I want to do.

Let love shine and we will find a way to come together.

Whenever I do my live shows, I feel artistically inspired and excited because I get to do and say a lot of things that I can't if I just make a record. A lot of times it's the only way people are going to hear my music because you don't get to have your music played on Top 40 if you're above the age of 35.

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