I Grew Up In A Pretty Tough

I Feel Like The Majority Of The Fear That I Had Or That We Have We Hold From Other People. They're Like People That We Trust; They're Their Fears. All Of A Sudden We Think That They're Our Fears.

I'd Rather Believe In My Own Choice And See It All Go Wrong Than Do Something I'm Not Fully Convinced Of And Later Feel Guilty About It.

Things Can Be Really Empty In This World, And I Don't Just Mean The Music World. It Can Become A Very Meaningless Place If You Don't Really Understand: Who Am I? Why Am I Here? What Am I Doing? To Feel Fulfillment And Have A Deeper Level Of Understanding, Personally, That Is The Most Important Thing.

I've Met Many Young Women Who Are Hiv Positive And Courageously Fighting The Disease. Their Determination To Live A Full Life And See Their Children Live In A Better World Is Deeply Inspiring To Me.

I Grew Up In A Pretty Tough Neighborhood. I Grew Up Around Drugs, Alcohol, Prostitution, I Grew Up Around Everything, And I Think Part Of Seeing That From Really Young Has Made Me Really Steer Very Far Away From It In All Of Its Forms.
