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

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.

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

Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano

Love is love, and there will never be too much.

For many years, I was a really heavy drinker, but people don't know about that because I'm by myself all the time. Recently, I didn't drink for eight or nine months, and I learned that alcohol was quadrupling the embarrassing moments - those moments when you're drunk and you say something you remember the next morning and feel embarrassed about.
