Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest

I'm a tulip in a cup. I stand no chance of growing up

I don't mind making a fool of myself. I felt like people would be accepting of that because, to me, that seems like an interesting way to do a show. I've always thought that it's interesting to watch people work things out on stage.

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 want to be able to do whatever I feel like doing and not worry about anything. Even when I was a kid, the only contemporary artist I listened to was Cyndi Lauper.

For a while after the rape, I was afraid of my own sexuality, because I got raped right about the time when I started developing physically.

Dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts.
