I like people wanting to know about me.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

The is a lot of anti-sexism coming from my point of view as a woman who deals with it every day. I think sexism is a form of discrimination. It is similar to other forms of discrimination. I think people should feel empowered to not take s**t from anyone.

I can't believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?

I was just dying to get out of my twenties.
