There were songs I would write about breaking up with somebody before I broke up with them, months and months before I broke up with them.

I want to be like the patron saint of reality.

I still don't know what Episcopalian means.

I only write when I'm angry or sad, so because that's when I just have to write... If I'm having a good time and I'm happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I'm doing to go and write at the piano?

The worst pain in the world is shame.

I got into therapy in the fifth grade because I said in a sarcastic way that I was going to kill myself, and they didn't get it then. Nothing's changed.
