There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.

Time and time again I can't please myself.

The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.

I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.

People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.

You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time; it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.
