When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad, because I made some friends down in skid row.

So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it’s really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it.

It’s sad when girls think they don’t have anything going on except being pretty.

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.

Our hope, and it’s a sad hope, is that… well, I mean we need a tip. That’s why we have such a big reward. We just hope that someone is holding her for her child and that we can, you know, get her back with a tip.

‘The Killing’ has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it’s very sad and deals with mourning and grief, it’s still exciting. It’s about real people and it doesn’t shy from the painful points of life.

I like ‘Bewitched’ off the first album because it’s one of the happiest songs I’ve ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs.

I like to write sad songs. They’re much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don’t want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn’t they want that positive, uptempo thing.

Since I had the baby I can’t tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn’t need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that.

What’s really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don’t intend to be one of them.
