Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.

My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'

You don't have to burn books, you don't have to rebel against teachers to rebel; to rebel is to truly own your own self.

People see my face, they hear my voice, and I know they're thinking about my father. That's OK - he was a great man.

I think guitar-wise, Eric Clapton was a big influence on me. I got to spend time around him. He's kind of strange, mysterious, serious and he always has played such hot guitar.

My job description is... being enthusiastic.

It's funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.

I did everything I could to not be a musician.

In almost any profession, even if you're the kid of an actor, people are very supportive and want to see the next generation.

Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.

My dad was my hero, my best friend.

Freedom wanders in the landscape of the mind, and nourishes the deepest yearnings of the soul.

The pursuit of any worthwhile goal requires that you give up something that feels comfortable, secure, and safe in the moment to get you closer to your future dreams.

This is how it works now with the news: the story begins with a moral, then a narrative is fashioned to support it.

Friendship multiplies blessings and...soothes the soul.

Honestly, I just want to have a good time, listen to great singers and great music, and just use my instincts, as usual.

Daily, constantly, we choose by our desires, our thoughts, and our actions whether we want to be blessed or cursed, happy or miserable.

If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places that you've been broken.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

I very much adore people who are outcasts, and I've always loved to be around interesting, circus-type people.

Every day I ask my husband, 'Is it possible to over kiss your child?' I literally think I kiss him 200 times in a day. It's not normal!
