I've always been a hugger. If we all hugged more, the world would be a better place :)

You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people.

My dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he's ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader.

Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.

People have only two or three adjectives to describe people in the public eye. And that's okay. As long as those adjectives aren't train wreck, mess, terrible.

I think when people make a record with a goal in mind - like taking it to the next level or making them seem more mature - that gets in the way of writing great songs.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down.
