The phone conversation where I haven't had a smoke, it's like trying to talk without using adverbs.

When you're inside and you have no control and when you're the 14-year-old version of Frances Farmer, you know, you have reasons to be angry. You have reasons to be angry when your parents, who are very sheltered themselves, make decisions as to what you should experience in your life and what's normal and what's not.

I used to kind of blame someone for not being able to get through that - I'm talking about the addiction part - but I've had a few experiences recently where you don't blame the person anymore.

If you're anti-war it doesn't mean you are 'pro' one side or the other in a conflict.

Worship the music, not the musicians.
