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

I still like to keep all the love songs for the Grobanites, I like to make sure that they know those are just for them.

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

There is a little bit of a head vs. heart kind of battle that happens sometimes with the song. There's the goose bump thing, where the melody or whatever it is just gets you and you don't know why. Sometimes, it's in a genre that you didn't think you liked and, all of a sudden, the song hits you and you just say, wow, I feel the hairs on the back of my neck. I love this song.

I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth.

There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

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