I was captured by music at a really early age. I was really captured by it. Everything about it. It was my mother… It was my father… It was my play thing. It was my toy. It was the best thing in my life.

Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.

Sensitivity isn't about being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom

I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.

I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
