I didn't think I could be my imperfect self. I pretended I was Marcia, so I was always playing this role. I became her, but yet I wasn't. It's strange.

Playing Marcia was a double-edged sword; it always will be whenever you play a character like that. You will be known as that character forever.

If you have a problem, try to get help, you can get through it if you get help.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I've never been in a competition before, and I said I'm going to go. I think - I just love to sing.

When I got sober, I thought giving up was saying goodbye to all the fun and all the sparkle, and it turned out to be just the opposite. That's when the sparkle started for me.
