I wanted to be a cheerleader, like my sister was - all the most popular and beautiful girls are cheerleaders and I wanted that, and it demolished this vision of myself. That's when I found the piano, when music saved me; that's when I first attempted to write my own songs.

Far away, to an infinite world I escape. I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid. Sunless days, in my sheltered milkyway. In Saturn's rings I feel no pain.

I think of my shows as family reunions. I give 100% every time. I just do. It's a huge therapeutic release. Also I love my touring family. And I love my audiences very much.

I am searching for the truth. Somewhere, it's in the music.

Welcome to the church of me.

I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.

Thank God I have music to vent my emotions. I'd be in a prison if I didn't.
