I've lived in many things - boats, caravans, and buses. I've been homeless, I've had no money: everything. But I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.

I don't follow the rules. That's kind of how I do everything.

I don't believe in trying to be somebody you're not - just be a bigger, better version of yourself.

I'm a free spirit and that definitely comes from my upbringing, so it's definitely shaped me as an artist.

Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.

My dad brought me Michael Jackson and Madonna and said, "This is ALL you need to know!"

As for today's music, Nicki Minaj is killing it. She's an amazing artist.
