We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction.

When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.

There's a paradox in every paradigm.

I just don't know any other word than "feminist" that describes a person who believes women are people.

I don't know if there are artists out there who love their own records. I haven't met any, and I'm kind of extreme in the other direction, but therein lies the impetus to keep working and keep making new songs and new records.

Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.
