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.

I firmly believe in music being as free as possible. Unlocked. Shared and spread. In order for artists to survive and create, their audiences need to step up and directly support them.

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

Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.

There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.
