What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.

I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.

Sometimes I feel like I just open myself up like I'm a vehicle for something coming through me. It's like a meditative state I have to be in.

I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.

So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

Sometimes I dream song ideas. I write a song in my dream, the melody and everything. But then sometimes I can't remember them. I think later on, I probably do.
