Come on. I got drunk when I was like 5.

I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.

My career has been: first you have to prove yourself, then there's the sophomore record, then there's this thing and that thing, and you always want to be understood.

I've done things that can be made fun of. It's not such a bad thing. If I'm going to end up a role model, then I'd rather not end up being the kind of role model that pretends to be perfect, and pretends that she always has the right thing to say. I'm a product of role models that didn't make me feel like I was as good as them.

It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy, just because she can.

I would never kill myself, but you can kind of let yourself die.

Nobody is strong enough to not be influenced.
