Once You Climb To Another

When I Was Five Years Old I Was Molested And Just, You Know. I Remember Feeling, Literally Right Before It Happened, I Just Could Not Believe That This Person Was Going To Do This To Me. That Thing Followed Me All My Life. The Shame Of Thinking My Molestation Was My Fault - It Led Me To Believe I Wasn't Worth Anything.

I Can't Just Make A Song People Can Dance In A Club To... It Still Has To Be Real.

I Still Get Nervous About Singing. I Drink Tea With Honey And Lemon Before Every Concert. And I Need To Have Scented Candles In All Of My Hotel Rooms.

That's The Message I Want To Give To Every Up-and-coming Artist: Do Everything That Is Going To Help You Later. If You Clone Somebody Else, That's All They're Gonna Keep Wanting From You.

Nowadays, With The State Of The Music Business, For Any Artist, Whether You're Up-and-coming Or You've Been In It For Awhile, You Have To Explore Different Revenues And Different Ways Of Expressing Yourself.
