I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.

Men find powerful women so threatening, and finding a partner was starting to look laughable, because I would be really attracted to guys and they would just be so threatened and I didn't like feeling threatening, I didn't want to feel threatened, I didn't want to feel like I was towering over anybody.

When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.

I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.

If we can repair things emotionally, a lot of other things would follow.

I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

All of my music, my stage show, my personality, my blog, my twitter feed, anything that's made me me, and a huge part of why people like and respect me, is that I just don't spend much energy on that other stuff. It's not worth it. It's a losing battle too. You're just screwed the minute you engage.
