I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.

Influences come from everywhere. I don't really feel like I had too many influences for the first record because I grew up listening to music in church, and that was pretty much it. I didn't really grow up listening to AC/DC and all those bands.

You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness. Because that is the job. I've always understood that's the deal.

I wake up in the morning, put on my face. The one that's going to get me through another day. Doesn't really matter...how I feel inside. This life is like a game sometimes. When you came around me the walls just disappeared. Nothing to surround me and keep me from my fears. I'm unprotected. See how I've opened up? You've made me trust.

It's been really fun to see with each album when I change to see the fans of the show emulate my style and with the first record a lot of the kids in the crowd were wearing neck ties like I was and now you'll see a lot of girls with pink hair. It's cool, it's actually really neat.

My heart is broken... I'm lying here My thoughts are choking On you my dear.

I'm gonna live today like this is my last day.. :)
