“My definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course.”

My mum and I have an incredible friendship now after a mixture of pain, honesty, unconditional love and a long break from each other

There are 50 new tabloids every year, and I’m in them, and I read them, and I do stupid things.

I have to speak for myself. As far as videos go – casting, the artwork, everything – I’m completely hands-on. You have to be if you want your points across.

Why do we fall in love so easy, even when it’s not right?

I’m never the kind of person who’s sitting at home reading the charts and basing how I feel about myself or even my career on stats. I’ve always based it on, ‘Am I doing the best that I can do?’

Carey’s had tough times as well, so between the two of us, it’s perfect.

When I was in seventh grade my mom caught me smoking cigarettes and punished me by making me smoke the entire carton. All it did was piss me off because I was out of cigarettes.
