I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

I can't believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.

Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.

I feel some kind of duty to be really, really honest as a writer. The same is true of my songwriting.

It makes me feel good to have some comforting effect on someone that needs comfort.

The most rabidly religious people are the most rabidly evil.

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.
