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.

Life is short and you've got to get the most out of it.

I'm trying to be present, not thinking and worrying about the past or the future. That's such a waste of time, you know?

My mom and dad met at Anaheim High School. After they got married, all they wanted to do was have four children, and they did.

I was down after divorce - I was all the way down. And I just felt like, "God, I gotta turn this around. I can't go down like this. I have to know that this is happening for a reason." And I knew that I had to turn to music.

Act as young as you feel. You're not getting older; you're getting more entitled to be your fabulous self.

I would love to learn to play something so I don't have to rely on someone to collaborate with.
