Seems it's my destiny for love to cause me misery.

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring people together, Other times it just takes music.

I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.

I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.

I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I'm not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.

I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.

I'm never the kind of person who's sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I've always based it on, 'Am I doing the best that I can do?'
