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

I just don’t really get to watch a lot of movies, like recently at least I haven’t been able to but I did watch The Exorcist for the first time ever, recently, and it didn’t scare me like I thought it was gonna scare me.

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change.

Just as quick as you receive my magic, I can take it away.

I’m gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I’m feeling that day.

I think honestly when I was younger I use to love going to carnivals in Long Island. I use to love carnival season; I would drive to every town going to carnivals. That was definitely a favorite memory.

I definitely love horror movies and all that for sure.

”God” is the Glue between us all.

It is aurora borealis when your eyes are shut. It is beyond what our language can convey or comprehend.

Just like a flower, we blossom and transform with the proper sunlight, a balanced amount of water, enough fresh air and when we are firmly planted in the ground.

Indulging in the pleasures of creation.

On the show [the Voice] I obviously wasn’t allowed [singing my own original music], because it’s not that type of show. I think it’s really cool that I get to do my own thing now.

Time traveling through roots to birth healing fruit.

I’m probably the most proud of “Mrs. Potato Head,” because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn’t tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn’t figure it out.

Even if the song meant a lot to me, I would still probably perform it live.

You are the seashell planting your existence on the shore catching the attention of many even if they aren’t picking you up, but just merely walking by.

My favorite performance would definitely be “Toxic,” which was my blind audition song. It was the start of it all and it was a song I had been covering before the show, so it was very dear to my heart.

It breaks my heart that some of my fans think that because they love me and they idolize me, they have to be just like me and dress like me and act like me.

I’m very susceptible to sex appeal.

You are worthy no matter what your journey may look like.

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?

I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.

Most opportunities are disguised as problems.

And I’ve been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I’m an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin’on sixty-five.
