When I pray, I'm just talking to what some people might call our higher selves: God, myself, my intuition, my heart. Whatever that is, that's where I go.

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

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.

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

That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
