The weirder the better for me.

'Titanium' wasn't supposed to be me singing, but they put my demo vocal back on.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

The accolades don't nourish me - being with loved ones and my dogs does.

In my sobriety, I have discovered that the people I love, and who hurt me, were sick like me.

People call me for the ballads. Apparently that's where I've been pigeonholed. But it's really interesting and really fun. It's my favourite part of the job, writing.
