It's true/ I do imbue my blue unto myself/ I make it bitter.

I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.

I had really bad obsessive-compulsive disorder. At its worst, I was compelled to leave my house at three o'clock in the morning and go out in the alley because I just knew that the paper-towel roll I threw in the recycling bin was uncomfortable, like it was lying the wrong way, and I would be down in the garbage.

What will an angel say that the devil wants to know?

I dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.

I didn't want to be precious about things. Of course, the idea is to make great music, but if you have great musicians up there, it gives me some leeway to play around a little bit.

I like the idea of the idler wheel - it just sits in between things, but it makes such a big difference in the way that the machine is working. That concept has always been something that has interested me, but I didn't really know why.
