When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.

I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

For the ocean is big and my boat is small. Find the courage.

There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.

A feeling is not bottomless. once felt all the way through,a great peace greets you there

It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.
