Back in the day, if someone at the record label didn't care or like your music, it never got to the public. It just got shelved.

If your mind is not willing, everything will go. There's so much great power of our mind that we take for granted, and how we think and what positiveness can do.

When I was suffering with depression, people weren't talking about depression. It had a stigma.

I do think the love-gone-wrong songs go over better, only because those melodies and those lyrics have a different feel that you can grasp on if you're a torch singer like myself.

I already have my dream job. Acting was the only thing that ever really kept my attention, and I'm very fortunate that I can have a career doing something I love.

Music is by no means something I was like, 'I'm going to make a career out of this!' It's the only thing I know how to do, so it was more like, 'I hope to God I can make a career out of this!'

That taught me one lesson which is that you're naive to believe that bands can change the world. Bands are very naive to think that just if their audience thinks that they can change the world, that they can. That was quite a lesson for my career, really.

I have had lots of luck in my career but there has also been a lot of hard work.
