Sometimes it's better to live through someone's work than the person themselves, and to realise that every human being is flawed, but through art they can be perfect.

I think that every band is different, and in fact that's one of the biggest problems with the old-school music industry is that... one band would be successful according to a certain approach, and then every other band in the label gets sent down the same tube.

[When I happen to] read interviews where people are such pros and they come out looking so good, [it comes off as] a little smug or something.

I'm a chick for sure.

Certain audiences get the double meaning and some of the references and ironies, but there's definitely been shows where I feel like I'm not doing it well enough for it to come across as anything other than "oh, she's hot and she's dancing."

Believe in the power of songs.

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.
