I'm not some sort of puppet. Like, there isn't a team of people telling me what to do.

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 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 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.

In Jesus the performance pendulum stops — both the pride of success and the despair of failure are absorbed by grace.

It is only when we go outside that comfort zone, and subject ourselves to the discomfort of considering thoughts we don’t agree with, that we can make an informed judgment on any matter.

There are no verdicts to childhood, only consequences, and the bright freight of memory.

Home was truly the best place he could possibly be, but, alas, was not an available option.

I can wear a baseball cap; I am entitled to wear a baseball cap. I am genetically pre-disposed to wear a baseball cap, whereas most English people look wrong in a baseball cap.

This ain't a war... It's a goddam whorehouse.

To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world.

Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there.

You want to be a part of something that is going to change history or make history or be bigger than yourself.
