I think one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is just access to the possibility of freedom that you don't have to be totally depressed and enslaved by your own environment.

How do we let people pay for music?

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

Our nature is to desperately want to believe and to take what we believe is the quickest path there even against our better judgment.

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 draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that's where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is.

I hate being ignored.
