Are you woman enough to be my man?

You can't be perfect. You can't be the perfect father. You can't be the perfect singer.

I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.

I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.

I don't need drugs. Life is already tragic enough.

These pop songs almost feel like tabloid journalism, in a way. It's c**p that people seem to like. And I don't know if it has meaning. I don't know if one of the pop songs of the summer has any fibre in it. People are consuming it, and is it healthy?... Maybe there's some healthy property or some restorative property that I'm not receiving. It seems like it has a really high fructose content.

At a certain point, you realize you have a responsibility more behind yourself and your need for adrenaline. I'm glad I did things in my 20s that were more reckless.
