I Don't Care If You Hate Me

I Was More Of A Dancing Kid Than A Singing Kid. I Mean, I Sang In School Choirs And I Sang In School Musicals, But I Was Much More Interested In Dancing Than Singing.

My Father Was Very Strict With Me, And I Kept Seeing A Disparity Between Their Freedom And My Lack Of It, Or How I Had All The Responsibilities And They Had None. And The Catholic Church, All Of The Rules, And Why Did I Have To Wear A Dress When They Could Wear Pants? I Would Say To My Dad: 'will Jesus Love Me Less If I Wear Pants? Am I Going To Hell?'

I Want To Appeal To People's Sense Of Humanity And Interconnectedness. I Feel Like I Have The Platform I'm Standing On For A Reason. It's Not Just To Make People Happy And Get People To Dance And Sing, To Feel An Escape. It's Also To Get People To Listen And To Bring Important Issues To The Forefront.

In England Especially, I've Found That If You Bring Up King Edward Viii And Wallis Simpson At A Dinner Party Or A Social Gathering, It's Like Throwing A Molotov Cocktail Into The Room.

I Refuse To Act The Way Someone Expects Me To.
