My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.

I think when I first started discovering I could write songs, I was so naive. And it was after I got broken up with and had my heart sliced up into a bunch of little pieces that I was like, "I'm going to say this." I didn't even know how to play guitar.

There are limits put on women, but why should there be?

Music & Fashion; it all comes from the same place of creativity.

I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.

My husband really loves the red [lipstick], so I keep the red because I want to keep the husband.

A miracle... my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.
