I was realizing that I didn't have a home. I didn't really feel at home in one place.
I get really nervous when I'm performing or meeting new people.
Every time someone asks me where I'm from, I'm not sure how to answer that question... So I say I have no roots.
I make music... And it helps me figure out life.
Every song is true and has its unique story behind it.
When you've moved 13 times, you lose track of where you're from.
I didn't have just one place where I could say, 'That's my home.'
I have complete creative freedom. If I want to put a song on the album, there's no one stopping me.
I loved a lot of the romantic composers.
The idea - or, if you like, the need - to write and record 'Lash Out' was born of a feeling within me.
Like most people, I wanted and still want to live by my own rules.
Music is something I can control.
I can do whatever I want, and I'm not going to let anyone tell me what language I should speak in.
I always wanted to do something with music, but to be honest, I never thought I'd be good enough.
I love writing about things I know, and I like to be very honest in my music.
If I don't feel the music, I can't perform it.
