I hope I am a psychotherapist's dream. I've spent enough hours in therapy.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I may cry ruining my make up, Wash away all things you've taken.. I don't care if I don't look pretty, Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking.

I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't.

Love is the only answer to every question

You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough.

Maybe Life is random. No fate. No God. Just Time.

To die is to be with the Lord. It is not just an idea, it is a reality.

in religion even when the reward is far the hope is so immediate.

If anyone saw Fall Out Boy's first 400 shows, we were the worst band of all time.

My family actually lived in the same village for about 400 years. They had great stability until the last century. People lived and intermarried in small villages.
