What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.

I don't expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.

I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.

I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavors.

The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it's very important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in the music. Most people's eyes are much better developed than their ears. If they see a certain emotion in the photograph, then they'll understand the music.

When I was 20, political music was the uncoolest thing on earth. But when Bush got elected, that was the first time I started actually reading the news.

I want to support young girls who are in their 20s now and tell them: You're not just imagining things. It's tough. Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times.
