The audience will make you feel like a demigod. But when you leave the stage, get back to being human.

The only one I really like is a song called Saccharine.

I've never been uncomfortable putting my heart on display, my feelings on display, certainly with an audience.

I take care of my voice; I'm working out the way I would do my body, so that stays in shape.

All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.

When I was very, very young, seven years old, I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion, to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me, I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.

Amateurs in professional situations make me very impatient.
