My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.

I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.

My stage show is raw and unpredictable.

There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I'm in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.

Big productions, to me, are great - like, I love going to Vegas and seeing shows - but I think that sometimes it's distracting, especially when you are there to listen to the music.

For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, 'Wait, I'm doing what I want to be doing. I'm not wanting to do it; I'm doing it.' And that's awesome.

Sexy doesn't have to come with the price tag of being dumb.
