...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.

When we [people] are operating from the belief that we're not connected, it feels so dangerous and scary and vulnerable and awful.

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.

In the past, I had workaholic issues.

It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.

When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so. I remember that felt like a slap in the face, because if my parents questioned Adam and Eve, then they potentially questioned everything within Catholicism. Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.
