The minute I spend any energy defending myself, explaining myself, or in the worst case scenario, trying to please those who are criticizing me, I will, you know, just fall off a cliff.

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

You know, there are so many snarky angry critics out there who are just sort of looking to tear down whoever is getting talked about.

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.

There are so many people, so many artists, so many magazines, so many theater companies, so many people trying to raise money for so many things that it's easy to look around and just feel powerless or helpless, because even if you have some resources, you can't help everybody.

When you connect with people, they want to help you.

I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
