I only write when I'm angry or sad, so because that's when I just have to write... If I'm having a good time and I'm happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I'm doing to go and write at the piano?

For many years, I was a really heavy drinker, but people don't know about that because I'm by myself all the time. Recently, I didn't drink for eight or nine months, and I learned that alcohol was quadrupling the embarrassing moments - those moments when you're drunk and you say something you remember the next morning and feel embarrassed about.

Everybody acts like I'm nuts. I'm not nuts I just want to feel it all.

The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?

In a sense it's a lot crazier when you're on the road and it's a lot less stable, but it's actually really healthy for me because it keeps me from isolating, which I tend to do a lot.

Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love.

I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
