You can spend your whole life planning. But once you're ready, get out there and start doing it.

Obviously everyone has things in their past that they don't enjoy looking back on [Laughs], but no, you can't change it.

Don't hate me for what tabloids write about me, because I guarantee it's a lie.

You can't change what happened.

I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes. You do get writer's block when you're writing music, and having inspiration from other great writers is great. You have to look for inspiration because sometimes music isn't the only thing that you can look at.

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.

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