Quotes

  • What I'm singing about is my life. It's the truth. I've had moments where that has been a bigger part than it should be. It's hard to admit to, and I could filter it or find another metaphor for it — but it doesn't feel right to me.
  • When I'm on stage, I turn into this rock person. I give everything I have. I sing with emotion, I'm loving it up there, and I think there's a lot of energy. In the same way that I'm open when I speak, I'm that open on stage.
  • You're gone and I gotta stayHigh all the time to keep you off my mindOoh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oohHigh all the time to keep you off my mindOoh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oohSpend my days locked in a hazeTryna forget you, babe, I fall back downGotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missin' youOoh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
