Spare time is like spare change. It's hard to quantify, the definition of that phrase. What do I do when I'm not onstage singing, or sleeping, with or without someone else? I watch movies.

I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.

I can't sleep without the TV on. It doesn't matter where it is. I don't like silence. My ears ring from loud music.

There's a big difference, I discovered, between wanting to die and not wanting to live. When you want to die, you at least have a goal. When you don't want to live, you're really just empty. That's the point I was at before I was able to make.

My first memories of religion were being taken to Episcopal church. My father was Catholic, but my mother, I believe, was Episcopal. So I sort of veered off into the watered-down version of Catholicism.

I'm kind of shy, and I think that I take that out by performing in front of a lot of people. That's how I get out my shyness.
