I've learned to have a sense of humor about myself. Lord knows everyone else does!

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I'm confident that we'll eventually figure it out.

I'm glad I started so young, because you are really able to endure so much at that age.

One of my favorite songs from the album is a song called 'For Better or Worse,' and it's basically about unconditional love, which is, I'd say, an ongoing theme in my personal life.

I'm kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I'm actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that's just part of my personality.

Think with your heart, speak with your soul.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

Being on stage is what I enjoy.

I wouldn't say I was bullied per se, but I did get a lot of unwanted attention because I was musical and stood out. In school you don't want to stand out; you want to blend in.

I've managed to keep my career going in a way that suits me. I'll perform, and then I'll go home to my actual life, and I've never been so visible.

I used to want to be the quickest, loudest, and sharpest. I think as time has gone on, I've gotten more relaxed.

I have always been a romantic, one of those people who believes that a woman in pink circus tights contains all the secrets of the universe.

He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.

An organization that is not facing up to people who are not getting the job done, is going to have difficulties.

Songs from the wood make you feel much better.

Soundgarden and Metallica, The Ramones, Everclear... I think they all wanted to see if we still knew how to play.

The first case I sat on... was Citizens United. Talk about being thrown in. Needless to say, if I was scared before, I was terrified.

The joy of living is his who has the heart to demand it. Life is a great adventure, and I want to say to you, accept it in such a spirit.
