My problem was that I felt ashamed of feeling sad or angry. Now, I don't hide my vulnerability in my lyrics. There's no way I was going to get raped and not get something out of it. I learned about power and hope and forgiveness. I like who I am now and I wouldn't be who I am if that hadn't happened.

I have never bought myself a computer or a phone, but guys in my life have bought them for me, for whatever reason. So now I have them.

There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.

If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.

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

The early cars already are drawing deep breaths past my door. And last night's phrases sick with lack of basis are still writhing on my floor.

I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs.
