I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.

I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.

Love is only as strong as your weakest moment.

Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind; but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.

I got kind of scared when I thought they wanted me to do something... I didn't want to be naked on the front of a magazine unless everybody would know it was a joke. I wouldn't want to be naked even then.

I remain totally convinced that if we can do one more simple thing to help kids and adults to learn more, it is to inspire them to read more.

We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.
