Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now.

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.

I've been through so much in my life. I've seen so much. I know how fast things can change. I know someone can be here one minute and gone the next.

I've never even been out of my BMI range. I'm 5-foot-3. If I gain five pounds, it shows.

You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted.

I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody.
