anybody bushes jump pictures reason
There's no reason for anybody to jump out of bushes to take pictures of me. I'm not doing anything exciting.
music people
I've always been incredibly lucky that the music that I make, other people like it.
broad spectrum
I feel like I really tapped into a pretty honest emotional place for myself as a lyricist. There's a broad spectrum of emotions.
When I sing, it's just... comfort is a stupid word, but it is.
love music playing
A big part of my love and passion for making music is playing it live.

I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.
add bunch listen moments music played playing stop stronger
When you're making music or playing a song, I find the moments when there are no instruments being played even stronger than when they are being played. Because they add tension. It's also an ego-less thing - a place where you have no ego - when you're with a bunch of musicians who stop and listen instead.
box check fence marriage move picket white
It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward.
people played teenager unpopular
I was 17 years old and in my first band, and we played at the university. I was kind of a gawky, unpopular teenager and there was about 400 people smiling and dancing to what we were doing.
bloody half life
Half the bloody world is going through a divorce; more than that are having children. All of us have parents who are dying or have died. It's just the life cycle.
best created impact sort stranger

arts choirs community decided high sang singing small state study town washington
I'm from Washington state - a pretty small town there called Puyallup. I was really into the arts there. I sang in choirs and did singing competitions. I also did a whole lot of theater; I did high school, and then I started doing some community theater. I decided that was the kind of thing I wanted to study in college.
beauty disneyland great initially job princess whim wound year
I initially got a job at Disneyland through a friend who was working there. He said, 'You would make a great princess there,' and that I should audition. So I just went on a whim to audition, and I wound up getting a job as Belle, from 'Beauty and the Beast,' at Disneyland. I did that for about a year and a half.
adult expect fantastic job people seriously taken
I think you are taken more seriously as a young adult when you are on a film set and you are doing a job and people expect something from you. Is that losing my youth? Not at all. I had a fantastic childhood.
