I've always been a very passionate, sometimes overly emotional person. Sometimes things affect me more than they should.

The way that I've always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love.

I've gotten to where my hair is like my onstage prop; I need to hide behind it and throw it around - it's my slo-mo effect.

If all we ever sang about was how happy we are, we would be lying to ourselves. People try to escape their problems by getting drunk, partying and dancing them away. What really heals me is to sit down and think, face the facts, then you can get over it and be happy

I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.

I'm singing from my heart now more than ever. I've gotten a lot braver with my writing.

Too bad you can't quote the look on my face.
