Writing songs is not something I wanted to share with people for a long time. It was precious to me. I didnt want someone to crush it. I waited until I felt strong enough to take the criticism.

There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.

I don't like myself, and I don't like to be looked at.

I need space between me and the audience - and the more space the better.

I'm a private person.

You can make bad choices and find yourself in a downward spiral or you can find something that gets you out of it.
