I feel bad because I haven't been able to say anything to the fans to let them know why I've been absent. I'm torn as I'm quite private. I'm not feeling well. I'm having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers.

Let the rain falling on your face run into your eyes. Can you see the rainbow now through the stormy skies?

I'm waking up to say I tried, instead of waking up to another TV guide.

I would describe my music and my sound as… Avril Lavigne!

I'm a person with a ton of energy who likes to scream and party and rock out. And there are other sides of me that are real serious.

I have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.

When I can do an acoustic set, I can sit down and sing. And then when I have a huge arena full of people, there's nothing like that. It's the coolest feeling in the world, but I also like to play small intimate shows because I feel you can connect a little more. And that's something I had to learn - how to connect to a big audience versus the small one.
