It was nerve-racking. I wanted to get it over with.

That's what we've been having in our head lately. Instead of thinking about everything so intensely, (songs) relax you.

Knowing that last year was a close match and this year we've got nothing to lose, we're optimistic.

Music in today's world has lost its magic. No longer is it made up of instrumental masterpieces desired to be performed for kings, but rather, it has been degraded to merely the newest Miley Cyrus song. It connects people in ways we can't fully understand and serves as a self-realization mechanism for those who can't fully understand themselves. All this to say, music possesses supernatural qualities, instituted by our Creator. Don't allow pop culture to dilute its true significance.

I definitely suffered from stage fright. I had to work really hard to come out of my shell. When I was little, I was very loud and loved performing in front of people. I was fearless. When I hit puberty, I became very shy and self-conscious.

I wanna be regular again - to be in a house or apartment or something. Just to get out of a hotel because this isn't really my life anymore.
