I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.

Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.

When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.

Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

I'm saying what a lot of people would want to say but are too embarrassed.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.
