I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are.

I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.
