I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston, Illinois, in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices - they were about my age, but they were doing it.
I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine, when I won a black TAG in a kart...
I feel like it's important, especially at young age, to find exactly what it is that makes your style so important as opposed to just trying to fit into the iconic styles of performers out there.

Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.
The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
You're a thousand small wonders, Kylie, love, adding up to one grand miracle.

You are a leader. It is time to lead. You must inspire, you must plan, you must make the world a better place.
