I'm not lazy, but I don't have that spur on my ass that most people have, like, "Oh, god. I have to get something out or else my career will be over!" I don't really care if my career is over.

I spend a lot of time trying to not do anything bad to anyone, but you can't live your life and not hurt people.

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

I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.

If women want to be appreciated for what we're saying, we've got to wear turtlenecks and long pants.

I'm such an incredibly, stupidly sensitive person that everything that happens to me, I experience it really intensely. I feel everything very deeply. And when you feel things deeply and you think about things a lot and you think about how you feel, you learn a lot about yourself. And when you know yourself, you know life.

I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
