No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

In terms of fitting in, you know, I don't have a lot of armor up. I'm a raw nerve and it's really uncomfortable for a lot of people.

A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!

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