There's no way to explain, but all the pleasure is worth all the pain.

It's wonderful to have money. But It's good that I know what the other side is like. I don't take for granted what I have now.

Janis Joplin is definitely one of my biggest influences. She taught me how to feel music, and I don't think there's anyone like her that could bring such pain and emotion to a song.

I need somebody with staying power who will make me go weak in the knees.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

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.

Even listening to a lot of other music inspires me, too. Like I'll find something and be like, "I love this group!" And I want to write something that's kind of like this.
