1 track, 18 questions:1. ...Can you tell us a little about it? (Stripped)
2. How much did you have to fight to be yourself? (To shake off the forced persona)
3. As you said, it is an extremely personal album... and not only the songs you co-wrote but ‘Beautiful’, written by Linda Perry, completely reflects your life?
4. ‘I am Okay’ is the most poignant song on the album...
5. The guitar part you mentioned (‘I’m Okay’), I thought it was Dave Navarro’s playing?
6. You appear to have struck a great working relationship with Pink’s producer, Linda Perry; were you introduced to her by Pink?
7. It took you 18 months to finish the album; was that caused in part by all the guests you wanted to work with?
8. Another guest on the album is Alicia Keys, who I admire greatly; do you actually just pick a phone up and ask people to work with you?
9. There are a couple of samples on the album for which you needed to make calls, to Eminem and Fred Durst (of Limp Bizkit)?
10. I think it also shows that you have a sense of humour and are self-deprecating?
11. Your singing approach is different on this album as well? Voice training or whatever?
12. ‘Dirrty’ is the first single off the album.
13. I bet a lot of people ask about the video clip, which is red hot? Did it take a long time, whose story line was it...?
14. What would you like people to take away from the album?
15. Having made an album that you wanted to, does that affect your ambitions? For the record, in general? Being eager more people to hear it and promoting it harder to that end?
16. What are your touring plans?
