If you lined up everyone I've ever dated, you wouldn't see any similarities.

I want to pave my own path artistically.

The period of time just before you awaken is the time I have my most creative thoughts and discover the best solutions.

I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels.

I grew up in the South with my father; blues and country, that's always been my core. But I had it in me not to do what was expected. I wanted to find my own footing.

I take a situation, analyse it, break it down, put it in the form I want it to be in, and then I toss it away. Let somebody else go deal with it.

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

I went through a huge transition in my life where everything and everyone I knew and trusted didn't turn out to be that way.

I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.

I work because I think that I wouldn't feel good about myself unless I was contributing.

I'm one of those people that, if I hear about something happening, I go crazy. I want to go help.

I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, 'What?'

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.

I've been through a lot of stuff.

I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility.

I've been through so much in my life. I've seen so much. I know how fast things can change. I know someone can be here one minute and gone the next.

I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.

I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture.

I don't think that I'm a top 40 artist in any way. So I don't think I'm that mainstream.

I don't ascribe to any particular style or period.

"I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing."

"What actor do you really take seriously who becomes a singer? It's kind of ridiculous. I can't think of anybody."

"When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst."
