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

The whole idea of emotions being something we can't escape as humans, but that deep suffering that comes from resisting them, we can move out of that just by not resisting anymore. But it takes a really brave warrior soul to sit there in these emotions that admittedly don't feel good in the body.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

America's a very traumatized society.

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!

Profanity is merely an expression of one's emotions

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
