I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.

I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.

I knew that I wanted to be a singer/songwriter when I was much younger and, um, I've been able to, you know, to realize that dream and I'm very pleased with that...I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry...Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion-very powerful emotions.

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?

Success breeds the excitement to continue going.

The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.
