I'm really happy to be me, and I'd like to think people like me more because I'm happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.

It's not like I force myself to think of sad things, but... it's more that I make music because it makes me happy.

People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.

There is nothing that would upset me more than my dad being bribed by the press. It's like, 'Just let them run it, then. Don't you give them ammunition.'

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

It's warts and all in my songs, and I think that's why people can relate to them.
