I'll Say It Loud And Say It

I Think Most Artists Start Off Playing In Front Of People And Are Used To Doing It Before They Go Out. I Kind Of Did It The Opposite. The Thing Got Blown Sky High And I'm On Tv On "good Morning America" Doing My First Performance In Front Of Everybody. I Think It Was Backward And From That, What I Got Out Of It, The End Is What I Wanted, Which Was Headlining My Own Tour, Having People Come Because They Loved My Record And Loved My Music.

I Like Jailhouse Rock And Love Me Tender. The Black-and-white Films. With Music, I Tend More Toward The '70s Stuff Because I Was At The Shows For Those, So They Bring Back Memories.

When I First Started Performing, Some People Were There Just Out Of Curiosity. I Think That Happens Less Often Then You'd Think, But When It Is Happening It's Very Obvious And I Can Tell What's Going On. I Had Some Of That In The Beginning, But I Think That Ultimately I Got A Pretty Strong Fan Base Based On Just My Personality Alone, And My Honesty, My Music. So It Wasn't Based On Anything Else, And I Did Notice If Someone Else Came Looking For Something Else, They'd Probably Leave, Or Complain It Was Too Loud Or Something.

When I Write, It's Purging For Me. It's A Therapeutic Process.

Making A Decision To Be A Public Figure Isn't Their Choice Right Now. I Don't Think It's Fair. Even Though They're Beautiful And I Love Them, They Haven't Made That Decision Yet. I've Been Chased Through Airports With A Screaming Baby Because The Photographers Are Ruthless, And They Want The Picture.
