Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.

When I had a child, everyone was telling me that I was going to see the world through her eyes, and everything was going to get this nice gloss to it. I kept waiting for that to happen, and thought there was a real problem with me that it wasn't.

I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived.

It seems like every time I start to feel good, something really awful happens. It's like... it's really terrible.

Music saved me; I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.

Die on a hilltop... eyeing the crows... waiting for your lids to close... but you want to watch as they peck your flesh... Ironic that they go for the eyes first.

I would thank God, but I don't believe in it... It's like a movie that was way too popular. It's a story that's been told too many times and just doesn't mean anything... All I really believe in is this moment, like right now.
