I've watched so many women, from Kathleen Hanna all the way up to Taylor Swift, whether they're pop artists or rock stars or fine artists or writers, it is the subhistory of female artists that if you're going to make art, you're also going to have a full-time job of defending your right to make art.

I hate being ignored.

I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.

Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.

I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

Everyone I know shares toothbrushes. Everyone I know sleeps on each other's floor. Everyone I know uses what they've got and shares what they've got.
