The day I was born, my house burnt down; the day I left home, the Twin Towers burnt down; and I lived in a jungle in India at 15.

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

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

The day I was born, my house burnt down; the day I left home, the Twin Towers burnt down; and I lived in a jungle in India at 15.

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

I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.

I believe in magic, and having a vision. The tough times made me a warrior. I work hard.
