The only person stopping you from doing something is yourself, and looking for excuses all the time just gets in the way of obtaining your own goals. It's like the writer who keeps getting up and straightening the pictures in the room.

When you're in a band and you're a girl, you know, guys just don't ... it's not the same kind of a groove as a girl walking up wearing a mac with nothing on underneath, or knocking on someone's door at three in the morning.

No amount of false propaganda can sanitize meat.

I can only cook brown rice and vegetables, so I don't get too many people coming over for dinner parties or anything.

I'd really rather just be the anonymous Mr. Nobody who I always was up until I first went onstage. I liked that.

I'm 34 now, I like to say 35 because it makes me look better for my age, and I have to keep a little bit of a profile so that every three years if I do put a record out, I don't have to substantiate where I've been for three years and why the silence and the sort of false mysterioso.

I have no sense of patriotism, but I do have a sense of community.
