When onstage, I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears, be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.

Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane.

A good song has to have a great melody, and the lyrics have to touch my heart. Now, if it's just a little toe-tapper, got to make me feel good somehow or another, or when I sing it I can't make you feel good.

Easter is very important to me, it's a second chance.

When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.

Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.
