If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.
Controversy What controversy This is reality. What I see is that no matter if you're a conservative or a liberal or whatever side you stand on, this is the reality of the situation - that people's families and their young kids are being affected.
Anything that is successful is a series of mistakes.
Just seeing the things on TV and the things in front of you, the amount of information coming in, and the lack of information not coming in, how could you not help but write songs about it.
The things that people do now in sports, you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.
I'm a dirt bag rock and roller. I want to represent that before anything else
I'm a songwriter-I'm obligated to keep pushing myself.

I like to keep my girlish figure
