19. "WHY ARE YOU SO OPEN WITH EVERYTHING?"

anonymous asked:

"Don't you think you'll be taken less seriously as an artist if you're so public with yourself on social networks such as this? I mean part of the whole point of fame (that usually naturally comes in the music industry) is privacy because of the lack of it you get anyway, most modern artists young or old DONT share their thoughts (as beautiful as yours are) as openly as you do except from tweets and pictures now and then , so why are you so open with everything?"

"I think if my willingness to be honest and open translates into being taken less seriously than the focus is really in the wrong place to begin with. I'd rather be honest and candid with the people who put so much time and money and energy into supporting me. So they really understand me and know I appreciate them. It doesn't matter to me what "most" modern artists do? I've never done things the way "most" modern artists do them. I think that the gap between "unattainable superstar" and "worshiping adoring fan" should be lessened. It works for some people. It makes me uncomfortable."
