I love Halloween and dressing up. I usually have at least three costumes.

I love everything, but I really love rock music. Incubus, Augustana, Nirvana, Chevelle, iHi-Hi-Fi, they're my really good friends.

I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.

I always take a cold shower to wake me up and close my pores. Then I moisturize my face.

There are times when you want your privacy, when you don't want the cameras in your face capturing your every move, every tear, every look. But I've gotten used to it.

I try to get to the beach every day. It brings sanity to my life. I'll just sit and read a book and enjoy the quiet.

I knew how to swim by the time I turned 4.

A lot of the guys that I date and my friends are all in bands.

Morality without kindness is the most dangerous weapon.

He. Does there have to be a he? It seems weak and unoriginal doesn’t it, for stories told by girls to always have a he?

Doing research on the Web is like using a library assembled piecemeal by pack rats and vandalized nightly.

There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.

My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.

Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy.

We have to know who we are and know what we believe.

Every great example of punishment has in it some injustice, but the suffering individual is compensated by the public good.

I started cooking out of middle school depression.
