Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.

Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

I can be in the worst PMS, Mercury in retrograde, most awful circumstance - and then if my girlfriends and I are giggling about it, everything's okay.

America's a very traumatized society.

Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.

I'll be writing records until I'm dead, whether people like it or not!
