People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I guess I don't know if I'm comfortable with fame or touring or promo or any of that stuff, and I really discovered that I love working for people and co-writing and working under someone.

I don't care what people think of me, unless they think I'm mean or something, but I don't care if they think I'm like someone else because I know I'm not - I'm a total weirdo. I'm not selling a dream; I'm not selling fame like it is some sort of fantastic thing. I'm just trying to sell music and get on with my real life.

That's the thing about awards - it's for the people who do all the hard work behind the scenes. An award is just a clap at them.

In my sobriety, I have discovered that the people I love, and who hurt me, were sick like me.

The weirder the better for me.
