There's always a backlash when you challenge people's convictions and their heroes.

People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me.

I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'

I don't believe you outsource your convictions and principles to people.

I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.
