I'm more private than people realize. I'm not that easy to get to know.

I think it's important that readers know that not every celebrity is a freak.

Criticism is always going to be painful. You live through it. I'll live through it now. It's even harder when you're younger. You don't have the maturity. You're still developing. If you get damaged while you're developing, it's a psychological battle after that. Today, if I get the criticism, I'm not bothered...if I wear the wrong thing, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Maybe when I was younger, I might have been more affected by that.

When I'm writing music, I'm not acting it out - it's all me. I feel that my responsibility is to be truthful about myself, first and foremost. I'm not going to sing things I don't believe in no matter who is benefitting from it.

I enjoyed working at McDonald's.

You want me to describe Elvis, wow!

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.
