I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

I could make a whole album with no one else involved at all. It would be a total, unadulterated expression of myself. Because whenever you have others playing on a project, their influence becomes a part of it.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

I never felt happy with the idea that part of what I do is to be an object to be looked at. I thought of my public persona as an entity separate to myself.

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

I don't need a mirror to see that it's true, cause I'm ugly with a capital U.

I never really expected to win the hearts of the masses.
