I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.

I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.

I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.

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.

Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.

I started writting songs when I was really little because there were things I could say through songs that I couldn't verbalize any other way. Writting was something I had to do.
