Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.

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.

When it comes to the acting stuff, I like to show up for a couple days and kind of be outrageous and silly, and go back to my day job.

Grobanite makes me think of a type of harmless crustacean.

Singing brings out in me what I can't normally bring out in everyday life. It's an incredible feeling to be able to bare your soul to people you've never met in a way that can make them understand so clearly what you mean. That's what I love most about singing ... it becomes my truest form of communication.

After using four different languages on an album, it's tough to decide which one I'm gonna actually learn to speak. I always study the lyric, make sure I know what I'm singing, and try to get the pronunciation as perfect as possible.

When I feel confused or depressed, I remember back to junior high and I silently repeat, 'This, too, shall pass.'
