I learned a lot about my audience and about myself as a performer, what I like to do live.

My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.

You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.

I did surveillance a lot, which sounds exciting, but it never was.

The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.

I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.
