I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

I wouldn't say I'm a feminist, but I don't like girls pretending to be stupid because it's easier.

The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes.

I don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.

I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.

I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.
