I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.

I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.

I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

I didn't want to be one of those women who wake up at 63 years old and realize they've missed the window of opportunity for marriage and children.

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 started making music because I could.

If I have taken part in anything perceived as the fame machine, it's been my choice. My motivations certainly have been different from some people's that I've worked with. But it's okay to work equally passionately for two different reasons.
