We've Never Been A Religious Band, But

My Best Friend Recently Told Me That I Was The Most Passionate Person She's Ever Known. I Don't Know If That Was A Compliment Or An Insult, Honestly.

I Write By Myself Initially. That's The Way I've Always Written, Just Working On Pure Thought By Myself. Then I Bring It To The Table With Whoever I'm Collaborating With.

I Was Always A Drama Queen. I Remember Playing In The Kitchen, Trying To Get My Mom To Think I Was Dead And Call The Police. When She Didn't, I Would Cry. I Was Always Theatrical. I Don't Think Any Of My Relatives Are Surprised.

The First Real Concert, Other Than Going With My Dad To See Three Dog Night, Was Smashing Pumpkins And Garbage. I Was Fourteen Or Fifteen. I Liked Shirley Manson Because She Reminded Me Of Annie Lennox. They Both Have These Deep, Sexy, Powerful Alto Voices.

Christina Aguilera's 'stripped' Had A Lot Of Good Songs. It's My Range, So I Use It To Warm Up A Lot.
