Words are very much my thing. I'm very picky and choosy with them. So, I kind of edit myself to the point of, almost stumping myself, sometimes.

Love is like a promise. Once you break it.. it doesn't come back unless you really fight for it.

As a clown, you're letting go of all of your bullshit.

I like buying iTunes. It's instant.

I had an indie pop phase, I had just about every phase you could think of.

I think when people watch a lot of artists, they're expecting this showiness, and I'm cracking jokes with people. I'm heckling back. I'm interacting.

I went to England because somebody told me to, and I loved it. And, "blessed" is a silly word to use for some people, but that's how I feel. I feel blessed.

I'm not a queen of anything, you know.

When I did the video for "Piledriver Waltz," I was thinking about rodeo clowns, and how they're risking their lives just to keep an entire arena laughing. They're in danger!

The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you know, are just the things which no one can see.

You are received the way you present yourself

The schizophrenic has no sense of humor. His world is a constantly daunting, unfriendly place.

You have to be willing to expose yourself, at least to yourself, to get to some kind of truth about a character.

Love is a breach in the walls, a broken gate, Love sells the proud heart's citadel to fate.

I say to everyone within the sound of my voice, 'Do not fail the Lord'. We must accept the truth that the gospel principles are not on trial but that we are.

We must all either wear out or rust out, every one of us. My choice is to wear out.

Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.

When you look at the possibilities instead of the problems, the future is filled with endless opportunities
