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

Any time there's a major change, whether it's going into a relationship, getting out of a relationship, moving to a new city, a death - that usually provides a catalyst for an explosion of creativity.

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

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

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

I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.

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.
