You can't be creative when you're completely happy.

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?'

Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

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 very involved with PETA - People for Ethical Treatment of Animals - and Greenpeace and a lot of women's shelter and clothing giveaways.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl.
