At a very young age I was predicting outcomes, trying to take all the information and find the best route to wherever I was going. I avoided a lot of pitfalls because of that.
I was trained as an actor and taught to believe at a very young age that I could be anything and do anything, and then you find yourself painted into a corner by your own image or persona.
I find age such a foreign concept. I have to be reminded. I still have the extraordinary feeling of adventure, striking out into unknown fields.
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that's a lifelong quest.

God created man and, finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a companion to make him feel his solitude more keenly.

Ke$ha is her art; there is no curtain you peel back to find the real person. And with Ke$ha, you never know what to expect when you're in the studio.
