I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

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

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

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 think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.

It is so hard for musicians when they step into acting is they're not coming in as a blank slate, they're coming in with a real set idea of who they are, where they're coming from, what their politics are, what their tastes are.
