It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

To me the biggest irony of this lifetime that I'm living is that for someone who thrives in the public eye in the creative ways that I do, I actually don't enjoy being in the public eye.

Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

When I'm really, really angry, if I'm privileged enough to be next to someone who can hold my anger, I'll definitely take them up on holding the bucket.

I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans.

I love songs that are very autobiographical.

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.
