Live fast. Die young. Be wild. Have fun.

I just look for someone who makes me feel like life is an exciting opportunity and, you know, just like to be alive.

The act of surrendering sort of puts me in a different mindset that allows me to be more of a channel - because I'm not holding on so tightly to things, I'm letting go, and I find that in letting go I become more of a channel for life to really happen on life's terms. I mean, maybe that sounds sort of metaphysical, but that's honestly how I feel.

I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage.

I'm not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something about Britney that compelled me - the way she sings and just the way she looks.

God has saved me a million times, so I think He mustve enjoyed my song.

I'd been sick on tour for about two years with this medical anomaly that doctors couldn't figure out. That's a big part of my life: I just feel really sick a lot of the time and can't figure out why. I'd gotten these shots in Russia, where we'd just been. It was just heavy. It's just heavy performing for people who really care about you, and you don't really care that much about yourself sometimes.
