I feel like I'm being put inside a box, and I'm not necessarily getting a chance. Like I'm not getting the shot that I deserve. So that's what Rare is about 'cause I feel because I am the way that I am, and I don't necessarily fit the mold of a lot of different artists that's out, it's like I'm not getting the chance to show what I can do. So, that's basically all the frustration of that, and everything is pretty much Rare for me anyway.

Maybe I'm just purely lucky. If I've come up against obstacles I've always found another way around it.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.

I find it hard myself to feel justified to sing in a very politically direct way about war or social conditions because I feel so ignorant of a lot of it.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
