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

In other words, let's give our young women the right weapons to fight with as they charge naked into battle, instead of ordering them to get back in the house and put some goddamn clothes on.

Life as it should be: all friends, all art, all music, all love, all the time.

When you trust people to help you, they often do.

I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.

I think it's so important to have a practice, because the consciousness isn't perfection or enlightenment or any of that bullshit. The consciousness is, "Oh, I'm walking down the street and I'm doing nothing."

I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.
