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

I'm always so pleased when I can get a song or be given a song that really speaks to me and I can interpret, but if given the opportunity to really write from the heart and try and bring some personality to whatever this genre would be, it was a great opportunity for me.

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

No matter who we are, no matter what our circumstances, our feelings and emotions are universal.

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.

My school life was very much a wandering experience. I was having trouble in school and I was not making a lot of friends. So coming home and actually improvising on the piano and just coming up with melodies was an escape for me.

I've been aware of my gay fans since album one. There has been such great support from that community and it has gone both ways.
