I'm not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I'm not saying, 'I'm sooo not famous,' I'm trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

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

I don't care what people think about me. Never did, never will. Life is too short to be worrying about that shit.

I just dress like... I'm an old black man. Sorry! Like I'm an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it's still the '50s.

I'm a young woman and I'm going to write about what I know.

When I'm nervous, I stutter, and I had to keep stopping and starting.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.
