"Empathy for me means definitely empathizing with a person, with their feelings and soul."
1) What appealed to you about the FUCK CANCER project and why are you putting your energy into it?
The theme of the project is definitely important to me. I have cancer in my family. And it's been a part of my life, so I'm happy to support this and I think it's part of what I do and maybe have some impact on my fans or the community that follow me and this is definitely a topic that I want to get out to as many people as possible.
2) What does the term FUCK CANCER mean or express to you?
The term FUCK CANCER to me definitely means fighting this disease and overall I think it's fighting this whole issue.
3) Can you imagine who you are fighting for here as a "SOLDIER"?
As a Soldier here, I'm fighting for people who maybe don't have that voice among the people and maybe are even afraid to come out because it might be a sensitive topic for them. I want to empower those people.
4) What would you say to someone who says they find the phrase "FUCK CANCER" vulgar?
To me the term FUCK CANCER is not vulgar, to me it is distinctly catchy .To the person who finds it vulgar I would definitely tell them to read up on it and think about themselves, think about the fact that a name can be vulgar and think about the fact that we want to get it out to as many people as possible so it's good to have a catchy name. And this is definitely a catchy title.
