When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.

It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!

I feel an extraordinary amount of sympathy for anybody working at a major label right now because their lives are over.

I had a real come-to-Jesus a couple of years ago when I started to see the direct line between feminism and everything else - feminism and climate change, feminism and poverty, feminism and hunger - and it was almost like I was born again and started walking down the street and was like, "Oh, my God, there are women everywhere!
