If a record label will sign you in order for you to be moulded into something that can make more money for them, then you should get out of there if you're that artist.

LA is an intense city. I was probably a bit too sensitive. I didn't have any friends so I was keeping pretty low key. I just whipped myself up into a bit of an emotional frenzy.

I never think anything's finished. It's really not. Recording is only just a moment in time. It's as good as you can do it until then.

That's the weird thing about music: It's never for anyone to own.

You can say something stupid with an incredible heartfelt sentiment and for some reason, it might be insanely powerful.

I change lyrics to the songs all the time, too. I don't know if it matters in a lot of ways because you can take what you want from it.
