The word that pisses me off - "prepubescent."

I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.

I'm a perfectionist. It's a big pain in the ass and it takes a lot of my time, but it really is going well and I have to do my own things.

[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.

I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like looking at myself because I don't particularly like what I see.

I get along really well with [my father] now, but I had a terrible time with him in my teenage years. All we did was scream at each other, and when we weren't screaming at each other, we just wouldn't talk to each other.

Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
