A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.

and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and god help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back

There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism.

We are wise, wise women. We are giggling girls.

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.

People who are just starting out are always sort of coming to me for advice as the example of "independent girl," and lots of people ask, well, how did you get the booking agent or the national distribution or the tours? And I look at them like, "Good lord! Relax!" I mean, how I did it was to not care about it and to not even think about it for years and years. All I thought about was getting the next little gig in the little bar, and I get this sense that people want me to give them the secret formula or the magic trick to make it all happen.
