There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism. People look at me sideways now and are like, "With everything going on, the destruction of the environment, these endless wars, this capitalism that has a stranglehold on our culture and our world and you're talking about feminism still?"

These days, I find I'm applying a little more patience to my process. If I look back on my work, I can see those songs I bailed on could have been better, that had those great two verses and then I kind of coasted from there. These days, if a song is giving me trouble, I put it aside and pick it up later, and keep doing that, for a year if I have to, until it takes shape.

I fight with love and i laugh with rage....you gotta live light enough to see the humor, and long enough to see some change.

It's not important to be defined, it's only important to use your time well.

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.

The world owes us nothing; we owe each other the world.

When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.
