That's a difficult question, because to consider yourself a rebel is sort of ridiculous.

If Jennifer Lopez could write songs like Fiona Apple's, she wouldn't have to spend so many hours at the gym.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

I wouldn't say that cutting was pleasurable, but there is a sense of euphoria that follows cutting yourself. The quick pinch of pain and the sight of blood snaps you back to the surface and you start to appreciate being alive.

One day I realized that it didn't matter whether people loved me or not.

It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I couldn't feel good about myself hanging out in Armani clothes when my girlfriend can't even pay her heating bill. I'd feel foul and I'd be embarrassed.
