I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.

I wear whatever makes me comfortable on stage, so that I feel confident. Some days it's a plaid skirt with a button-up and other days it's jeans with a hockey jersey and platforms.

I like writing different types of music. I don't like being stuck into one thing.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

Dreams do come true. They definitely do come true. It just takes a while, I guess. Sometimes it doesn't, but for me it did, anyway.

I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

I hate when people call me a socialite because you have to have money to be a socialite, which I don't have.

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?

I'm pretty sarcastic, and sometimes that doesn't come across on the Internet. It seems I'm being rude or stupid.

There's people trying to tell me what to do, but I'm not like some marketing scam.

I have no emotions. I just stand there, in the rubble of my life.This… this was my home. If it were a person, this would be a gaping chest wound, the kind no one can recover from.

Knowing it--knowing it's true is one thing, but believing what you know... well, there's the tough part.

We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.

I can say with total conviction that it was the Holy Spirit that chose, guided the election of Pope Francis.

No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

If it was true that lower taxes for the rich and more wealth to the wealthy leat to job creation, today we would be drowning in jobs.

Deception is a developed art of civilization and the most potent weapon in the game of power

When I was younger I was obsessed with 'Star 80,' and it's just a great movie - I think I saw it three times in the theater.

You can't be a first-world economy in the 21st century if you haven't laid the groundwork to seize the opportunities.
