I don't follow any organized religion, but I do believe in the idea of god as a verb - being love and light. And that we are part of everything as everything is part of us.

Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you.

I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else

Theres beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, thats harder than others.

I was raised with a mother who told me that I wouldn't succeed, that I wasn't good enough. Even at the pinnacle of my success, she'd come to a show, and there'd be, like, 10,000 people screaming. And she'd say, "I just don't get it." I think she had so little faith in herself and her abilities as a parent that she couldn't imagine any offspring of hers could do so well. And all that did was drive me to push back. If someone says, "You can't do this," I'm like, "F-ck you! Oh, yes I can, and I will."

I love [that] you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near... I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.

I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. Standing on the edge of something much too deep.
