I Don't Find Much Influence In Opera.

As A Child, I Was Always Making Sound; It Was A Compulsion. I Loved To Scream And Yell And Sing; It Freed Me From All The Thoughts In My Head. I Begged For Opera Lessons Because Opera Singing Is The Most Formidable, Most Emotional Way To Use Your Voice.

The Only Reason I Would Write A Break-up Song Is Because My Own Problem Of Allowing Myself To Relate To People.

When You Fall In Love, You Become Weak.

No Matter What You Do, If There's Something You're Afraid Of, You Need To Break Through It.

I Try To Create Songs That Are Really Massive And Intense, But At The Same Time Remaining Honest And Raw.
