At first, when I got bad press and people would talk bad about my family or something like that, I would get really upset, but now it's just not worth my energy.

I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

On a serious level, I wouldn't tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldn't ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life.

I don't talk about my personal life with the press.

Early on I decided that I was going to lie to the press. The best approach to talking about my personal life was to lie.

I have been hearing gossip and lies since I began working. When I was 17, I used to get very angry because I opened a magazine and I saw myself in a picture on a motorcycle, and the headline was, 'I'm getting married next month.'

I'll say this: The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce.

The press made me something I really wasn't and I tried to live up to what they made me.

People can say anything they want to. If they don't want to get the news from me, get it from somebody else. It's not something I'm going to worry about, I'm sorry.

I've never been married, but I tell people I'm divorced so they won't think something is wrong with me.
