Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

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

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.

A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

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.

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.

I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.
