Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.

Keeping your emotions all locked up is something that's unfair to you. When you clearly know how you feel. You should say it.

From a broken relationship I was in. I could not understand what went wrong and I had to explain to myself, and I did it through this song. The next day I thought, Jesus, that's beautiful. I didn't recognize it at the time, it was just pouring out of me.

You know, I have to have the umph. I've got to feel it, because if it's not getting through to me, the audience sure as hell aren't going to feel it either.

If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.
