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

No-strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction. All my life I've been in long-term monogamous relationships. I had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. I haven't been celibate. I've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but I haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. This has been a huge thing for me.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.

There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.

I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.
