Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay.

Music is the most powerful thing on this earth, and it's hard to be angry when you are listening to music.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I thought that I wrote songs and wrote music, and that was sort of what I thought I was best at doing. And because nobody else was ever doing my songs, I felt - you know, I had to go out and do them.

There's a point where you think, 'What else will I do if I don't do music?' It becomes your identity when it never should have been. But food ignited a fire in me, and I came right back to music because it no longer felt like a job. It was a really powerful thing for me.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.
