I try not to focus on fame; I don't even really know what it means exactly because it's so fleeting.
I try to write in a way where the lyrics have many meanings and you won't really know what's behind it.
I am trying to do my own thing, but there will always be comparisons, even if I don't agree with them.
I sleep for about four hours a night, or day really. I go to bed at, like, 9 A.M., sleep for four hours, then get up and start the day again. I don't mind if that's not healthy.
I've been writing songs since I was, like, five and I've been singing since, like, I can't remember.
I've been told I'm out of my mind since I was 11.
You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
I'd call my music rock but with pop hooks.
Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
One of my first favorite records was the debut Garbage album, which I heard when I was very young. Shirley Manson is a great female vocalist and performer and I admire her for that.
Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.
The Beatles did everything first, and they did it the best.
Switching the public's perception and view of me was, and still is, kind of a challenge to get them to see me outside of a character that I played on TV for so long.
I kind of woke up one morning and was like, 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything'. I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product.'
