Think with your heart, speak with your soul.

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.

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

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

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.

The hard things in life, the things you really learn from, happen with a clear mind.

Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

You may reasonably expect a man to walk a tightrope safely for ten minutes; it would be unreasonable to do so without accident for two hundred years.

If you just think Donnie Darkos a weird movie, you don't want to think. You don't want to feel your feelings. So yeah, I do want to shake 'em up.

Whether I or anyone else accepted the concept of alcoholism as a disease didn't matter; what mattered was that when treated as a disease, those who suffered from it were most likely to recover.

The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans, and the last thing we need to do is to spend money on death, destruction and war.

I'm a complete worrier. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm thinking.

Unless you invest in people, you are not going to see growth in the long term, the medium term, and maybe even the short term.

Ride the air In whirlwind.

I also have two children under three who keep me up all night and don't seem to understand the benefits of sitting in silence, which has presented an interesting challenge.
