daughter powerful alcohol
Being with the president's daughter, no matter who the president is, you are connected to the most powerful political force on earth, and that's scary. And when you mix crystal meth and alcohol with that, it's...kind of exciting. A little too exciting.
morning light evil
All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn; early morning is the triumph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on.
rip father cutting
In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you're faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me. I understand why he had to be distant, because to rip yourself away, time after time, is almost more devastating.
video habit walks
Every video I do is over budget by the time I walk on set. I am massively extravagant in my personal habits.
struggle blessed successful
I'm very blessed, mainly because even though my family is mostly in show business, it's really centered around music. My parents were very successful in many ways, but they weren't necessarily top of the charts. We were never wealthy because of music. We always had to work and we always had to struggle a little bit, and I think at the end of the day that's been very good for me, because I have a sense of it being very ephemeral.

Life is a game and true love is a trophy.
diapers drink
A diaper is as inspiring as a drink.
demise way plot
I've paid the price; I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.
aunt my-boyfriend care
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
