I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic!

My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.

I'm lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant.

[Marriage] was the one thing I didn't want to fail at.

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.

I'd like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I've learned over the years that I'm so disappointed when I can't wear the clothes I want to wear.

It feels like the more I'm out there in the public eye, the more criticism I get. You need to have confidence - that's what it takes to walk out there and sing a song in front of a huge group of people.
