Ultimately, I am responsible for how I live my life now, and what I make out of it. In fact, I am actually grateful for what I've gone through and wouldn't change a thing-although I admit I wouldn't want to live it over again either. Once was enough.

I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain.

I won't lie, I've had a lot of discouraging moments in the past years, moments I wasn't sure about things and doubted myself.

Music is a great natural high and a great natural escape.

I wanted to die. I had a panic attack.

The red-carpet spotlight is a little bit more nerve-racking when you haven't been doing it all the time.

If I hadn't had a childhood career, I probably would've signed a contract with the first person I came across.
