You know, I've been playing with my hair color ever since I was nine.

Before I became famous I had a very full life, and that gave me a lot to pick from. I always use everything. It always comes in handy. Working with animals... Well, I just enjoyed that. That was the most peaceful time.

I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.

I wanted to make the album I always needed to make. I had to say the things I never could.

Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world, I want to be the one to walk in the sun.

Goonies are good enough, good enough for me

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
