I didn't realise how hard it was to be a mom and keep it all together.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

I was listening to a lot of Norwegian black metal and death metal. There's a great history to Norwegian black metal. That music is very dark and violent, but it's also beautiful.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

Sometimes I laugh with my parents, and sometimes I yell at them, and both are therapeutic.

For me, the dumbest rule is that you can't chew gum in school. For some reason, chewing gum for me gets my brain going.

I usually get my lyrics when I let my mind wander, when you're not really awake, but not yet fully asleep. I keep an open notebook by my bed and then just write whatever comes to me.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

It's very scary to allow the world to see you.

To see time and life correctly, you must begin to access life as seconds, as minutes and as hours.

In prayer we call ourselves 'worms of the dust' but it is only on a sort of tacit understanding that the remark shall not be taken at par.

Due to the injuries that I will have for the rest of my life, it is physically impossible for me to consider any career in wrestling.

When it comes to meat, change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not.

What is the greater good but tyranny’s chameleon?

It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.

To turn one's eyes away from Jesus means to turn them to the Law.

My worst vice is also my best vice. It's my empathy and my love for people-it can wear me out. I rarely can turn a person in need down or because I love people, I love energy.

People feel like they grew up with me.

The package destroys not just the peace process but all the peace dynamics in society. This is a bid to crush opposition.
