I couldn't just hand in any old rubbish - I can't go on tour and sing something for three years if I don't believe in it.
believe endorsing great label people respect speak truth trying
The people at my label are always endorsing what I say. They say, 'You see the truth, so speak it.' They believe in me. They respect my opinion. At least I have an opinion, and I'm not trying to play it safe. I don't go around saying, 'I think everyone is great, and the world is fantastic.' Everyone has opinions. They just don't say it.

The only thing I don't have is hips.
