"Celebrity" is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don't think it makes me extraordinary. That's my opinion.

I like woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is she who she is and figures people can take it or leave it.

It's way more attractive if she has her own distinct style and wears what she feels best in.

I think, for me specifically when it comes to music, I don't think that I need any persuading to think about it. It's always kind of in the back of your mind and - but I think it's part of who I am and always will be, I mean, in a very cellular way. When you grow up doing, you know, one thing, I think you get to this place where you want to try new things.
