If people are making fun of you then you're probably doing something right.
The only comfort within chaos is admitting you have no control.
When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone.
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live!
A fan once asked if he could have a piece of my hair for voodoo. I said no, so he hugged me and plucked out a couple of hairs and ran off.
Don't be afraid of the shadows, it only means there's a light nearby.
Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.
People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want!
I'm singing from my heart now more than ever. I've gotten a lot braver with my writing.
Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.
I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy.
That's where I spent of lot of my high-school years-in the closet. It wasn't too cramped, but you do get really hot.
L.A. doesn't have any big personality to me; it's not inspiring.
