Art is a platform where self-expression should not be limited. I'm here to inspire. There is no age limit to that.
My fullest concentration of energy is available to me only when I integrate all the parts of who I am, openly, allowing power from particular sources of my living to flow back and forth freely through all my different selves, without the restriction of externally imposed definition.
Art is about freedom of expression, and should not be molded to fit any propaganda or lofty ideal.
It's really liberating and fun to be writing stuff for myself, and really have the freedom to say what I want to say and not really have to think about what somebody else is going to say or have to edit myself to speak from someone else's vision.
I can say whatever I want. I will be nothing but unfiltered with my audience.
When no one knows you, and you're just trying to break into stuff, it's so good because you can write whatever you want and just say it; it's just between you and the audience. There's no process or worrying about anyone else interfering with what you're doing.
To some, freedom means the opportunity to do what they want to do; to most it means not to do what they do not want to do. It is perhaps true that those who can grow will feel free under any condition.
I believe for freedom. I believe that people should express themselves the way they want, except as it does in the way that's not nice, but it is what it is.
The connection I make with being young and growing up is, like, the feeling of not being crushed by the world. Having an idea, thinking you can do it.
There are no limitations. There are no barriers. Nothing can stop you, and nothing can define you but you.
A liberty for every one to do what he lists, to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws.
Locke and most others rejected this notion of freedom, seeing it in the modern sense of anarchy.
When, no matter what you do, everybody's going to punch holes in it, then you just go and you do what you want. And that's the most freeing place to be.
I just say whatever I want to whoever I want whenever I want wherever I want however I want.
I have freedom. But freedom means total selfishness. It means nobody cares much what you do.
I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else's feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that.
The essence of what it is to be American is the deep moral urge to be free, to freely express yourself and have the right to do so, and to look at all people as equals.
I wanted something where I could have the clearest and most unfiltered artistic and creative voice.
I do not want to be restricted to a particular image.
