I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.

I can't help you if you won't help yourself.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

I always try to write a song to work things out with myself and I want to do it with a little punchline at the end, because I never want to remember anything bad in my life.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason, but I don't think that there's a high power, necessarily. I believe in karma very much though.
