If I hadn't had my children, I would have been discouraged a lot quicker. It would have been much more easy for me to say, "You know what, let the whole thing go. Have a good time, because these people, this place - it's just not worth it." You know? I can't do that anymore. I look into those eyes and they look at me so trustingly that I'm gonna make sure that [they're thinking], "Hey, you did a good thing bringing me into the world, daddy. I'm going to have a great life!"

When I'm stuck for a closing to a lyric, I will drag out my last resort: overwhelming illogic.

I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.

I think getting married and then running away for 10 months would be an absolute disaster.

It took me a long time to reach the bottom and it went through various stages. I went from drugs into an alcohol stage. For a while, one feels, "Ah, I've kicked drugs," but what I discovered was I had another addiction instead.

The only time that I've adopted characterization again since that point, for my own albums, has been an album called "Outside" that I did with Brian Eno.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.
