I have a place in New England. It's in the middle of nowhere, like horror movie style - Stephen King-ville. It's a good kind of retreat for me to regroup my thoughts and work. I split time: 50 percent there, 50 percent in New York

I try not to focus on fame; I don't even really know what it means exactly because it's so fleeting.

'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.

Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.

Again, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.

Everyone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.

I believe in good, having morals, be a decent person.
