Writing music is my therapy. It’s very purifying!

That's where I spent of lot of my high-school years -- in the closet. It wasn't too cramped, but you do get really hot.

So many nights I cried myself to sleep. Now that you love me, I love myself. I never thought I would say this. I never thought there'd be you.

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I'm always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn't matter - just unique stuff.

I love the creative process. That's always been the closest thing to my heart, creating something.

Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' had a lot of good songs. It's my range, so I use it to warm up a lot.
