There is a certain... chivalry to the style of singing I normally do. Part of the fun for me will be to leave that at the door.

It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends.

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.

If I'm in a relationship, I'll go to the ends of the earth. If I'm on the road and we have a conversation, and she says, "God, I really wish I was there with you right now," I'll hang up the phone, send a car, and have the plane ready.

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

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

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