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

Nobody's perfect. I'm perfectly flawed.

We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again.

I feel like for me the lyric writing really comes from just what's going on in my heart and that's what consumes me; think a lot of our heart is relationships. Not just with boyfriend or girlfriend but all your relationships in your life with other people and our interactions with other humans.

I cry alot-I dont know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful

I write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.

I don't want to be Christina Aguilera. I want to be Amy Lee, rock queen - not sex queen.
