My best friend recently told me that I was the most passionate person she's ever known. I don't know if that was a compliment or an insult, honestly.

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

When I was in high school, I listened to a lot of death metal bands.

You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it.

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

My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live!

I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.
