When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone. When I was sure of losing, I won.When I needed people the most, they left me. When I learnt to dry my tears, I found a shoulder to cry on.And when I mastered the art of hating, somebody started loving me.

Everything in life is not all beautiful, not all fun. There is lots of killing and drugs. To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I'll let you decide which is the more important revelation.

I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.
