beasts crazy embrace feminine matter men mind music powerful theme throughout whether
It's a big theme throughout my music to just embrace everything about your own mind and to always feel powerful. It's not just a feminine thing, but for men, too, whether they feel weak, or strong or crazy or reclusive. I want everyone to feel powerful no matter what little beasts they have in their head.

announced girl good half life modeled outside people perceive seeing stepping talk
When I announced that I wanted to do a talk show, a lot of people were very skeptical, which, of course, I understand, ... I think I'm very good at stepping outside of myself and seeing what I think other people perceive and they perceive a girl that has modeled half of her life and that's pretty much it.
