I've been a bad, bad girl - I've been careless with a delicate man.

If I respect myself and believe in what I'm doing, no one can touch me.

Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love.

I got all my work done to graduate in two months and then they were like, I'm sorry, you have to take driver's ed. I just kind of went, Oh, forget it.

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way/ And say I've been getting along/ For long before you came into the play.

One of my friends said to me, "Oh yeah, of course you aren't writing." So I was like, "The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a new song." I wrote "Criminal" in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.

I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
