I'm about to make people forget about Madonna.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'

My fans mean more to me than they will ever know. I call these people my friends and my confidence and if they are here to see me and they are here to support me, then that's all I need in life.

When I was in seventh grade my mom caught me smoking cigarettes and punished me by making me smoke the entire carton. All it did was piss me off because I was out of cigarettes.

But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die. You've gotta get up and try, try, try.

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

I'm pretty confident and, at the same time, I'm pretty insecure. I'm like a walking conflict.
