We live in an epidemic of self-hatred. I see it daily with people coming at me, and they do it to everybody, it's not just me. The hatred is really stemming from them not liking themselves. When you look at it that way, I feel so much empathy and understanding for those people.

A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I'm gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens.

I'll get into conversations with other people, and all of a sudden they will say something that sparks that... either the titles to me, or just the conversation itself will spark an idea for a song.

Inspiration is everywhere! I think you just have to have your eyes open.

I don't earn my money from trying to hurt people or get in the tabloids.

I am constantly working out-circuit training, jumping rope, and stair-stepping, and sticking to 1200 calories a day. It can't be something that you're doing to lose weight, and then once you do, you're done. I do it every day of my life.

What I enjoy most about going out on stage is seeing all my fans react to my music.
