I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn't work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.

I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead.

A good love is delicious, you can't get enough too soon.

Like every girl, I felt amazing pressure to look like the popular girls, but no one told me the popular girls were all air brushed in magazines.

I grew up doing live tours and playing in bars, so it was what I love to do.

I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.

My second record I used a producer, which was frustrating in a way, because I think a lot of the punky spirit and provocative nature of the lyrics didn't come across - the music was pretty.
