I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

I feel good in my own skin because I've accepted the fact that I'm me. That's what's so great about being alive and being on this planet: Everybody's different.

I call myself a FFP: former fat person, and when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for.

I can't lie, I did a lot of really, really stupid things, and it was because it was my way of crying for help.

As a parent, I know I speak for millions when I say that every child deserves to grow up in a stable, loving home.

All I do is work and be with my family.

The richest inheritance any child can have is a stable, loving, disciplined family life.

Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?
