I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!

I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave

My feeling is, Twitter's free. If people want to have a political discourse with me on Twitter, and they disagree with me, I've got all the time in the world for that. It's when it gets nasty that I have problems.

I know that life is a journey I must accept and that pain and confusion are temporary. I know that if I follow my heart, it will lead me where I belong.

The songs that I sing and the songs that I write have always just been what I feel my voice does well, and what my inspirations have been and a kind of culmination of everything.

Maybe the gruffness and anger can be done with a purity of sound.

Music is what I always turn to when I'm feeling a certain way. It's my reason for everything.
