My Parents Both Came From Very Poor

It's Important To Me That I Should Be Free To Express Myself.

When I Open My Mouth And Sing, The Truth Comes Out. When I Write, The Truth Comes Out. I Can't Lie. That, I Think, Is One Of The Strongest Elements Of My Music. When People Talk About My Writing As Though I'm Doing It From An Accountant's Perspective, It Really Pisses Me Off.

I Don't Really Feel I Deserve Something If I Haven't Had To Fight For It. It's Not A Conscious Attitude, And It's Stupid And Wrong. Sometimes You Do Deserve Things Without Having To Put Yourself Through Agony.

Freedom. I Will Not Give You Up.

I Don't Like Having My Picture Taken And I Don't Like Looking At Myself Because I Don't Particularly Like What I See.
