I have a very steadfast tendency to parent myself, to monitor my development into the person I want to be. I've tried to keep the corruption minimal.
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
What's really good is African drum music.
I don't want to give any advice to a 19-year-old, because I want a 19-year-old to make mistakes and learn from them. Make mistakes, make mistakes, make mistakes. Just make sure they're your mistakes.
I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
I never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.
I don't have a big thing about leaving my mark or being historic.
I don't think what I look like is relevant.
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while.
I used to get a shiver if I thought about holding balloons, because I was scared of floating away.
I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.
I'm not a control freak.
I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar; I don't get paparazzi around me.
