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

The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.

I want to hear from the creature who isn't blessed with unbelievable good looks and incredible genes. I want to hear from the geek girl, the forgotten girl, the invisible girl and the miserable girl.

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.

We're living in a time when people are struggling to appear perfect.

Pop music seems to be the way radio programming has chosen to support female artists. They have chosen not to support a more provocative voice from women, which I find disappointing.

Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
