I'm pretty much a workaholic, but when you're doing what you love it's hard to think of a reason to stop.

Feel free to listen, feel free to stare.

Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.

I am not a pretty girl. I don't want to be a pretty girl. No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.

My political mission is as acute as ever. For me, in addition to kind of looking at the world and trying to engage in my society politically, having the kid around sort of makes me check in with myself. I think you're all busy trying to fix the world, but what about yourself?

But as bad as I am, I'm proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem

I was attracted to a lot of different art forms - dancing, painting. But there's something about music that people hold so close. It's such a powerful art form, and that's why I live for it.
