I thought I had to live that partying lifestyle in order to be authentic, but in fact if you keep it up too long, all you're going to be is sloppy or dead.

I'll close my eyes, so I won't see, all of the love that you don't feel for me.

I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby - nothing more.

It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.

Sometimes I'm more true when I'm up onstage than I'm able to be in my regular life. It's not as exciting to be at home, but I've got to learn how to make that work, and then I will be an ordinary woman.

Maybe the idea of me is more powerful than I perceive myself being.
