“I’m happy that I get to work with people that I enjoy being around. It’s really cool when people understand and want to help your vision and are like rooting for you. I just, I love them a lot.”

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

Everyone got to choose what they wanted to wear on stage, and by the third time going into wardrobe the stylists already knew what I’d love and what I would never throw on my body in a million years. They were fantastic, and it was so lovely working with them.

It’s just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it’s about the music and not because I was on a TV show.

I’ve had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that “Dollhouse” really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.

I’ve had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.

I have a few songs that I’m figuring out and writing. I’m still figuring out the whole concept and how it’s gonna connect to Cry Baby, but I have some ideas, yes.

Cry Baby wasn’t necessarily a baby theme but I understand what they’re saying. So like, Cry Baby is definitely a remaining character throughout all of my albums.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Loving yourself + others is a magically addictive sensation.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

We all have holes, chips and scratches on us but these wear marks represent our journey, our wisdom, our knowledge, our lessons learned, our strength, and our vitality.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

When I create it is the only time the past, present and future all meet me at once.

Found euphoria in the comfort of my own home.

There is a certain level of patience you have to have with yourself to get to the finish line.

No human interaction, just killing dead parts of myself to make room for the new.

Glorious bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys.

Don’t bother finding a soulmate. Your aunt tells you, your fluffy scrambled eggs are the best she’s had and dammit, you can enjoy those all by yourself. No need to share the wealth.

I enjoy doing different kinds of things. I just enjoy being not tied too much. I feel that I’m tied to myself as a kind of traditional musician and a singer, and the history that I have ties me down.

Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.

I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done; as long as I enjoyed it at the time.

To enjoy life, you don’t need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren’t as serious as you make them out to be.

[The] government has room to scale back individual rights during wartime without violating the Constitution. The Constitution just sets minimums. Most of the rights that you enjoy go way beyond what the Constitution requires.

Have fun. The game is a lot more enjoyable when you’re trying to do more than just make money.
