I don't understand why Europeans and South Americans can take more sophistication. Why is it that Americans need to hear their happiness major and their tragedy minor, and as jazzy as they can handle is a seventh chord? Are they not experiencing complex emotions?

Happiness is the best facelift.

I hang my laundry on the line when I write.

I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.

When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.

I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.

I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
