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

People make such a big deal about how people in bands look, especially if you're a girl.

I am not dead inside. I still care about right and wrong.

Songwriting is like editing. You write down all this stuff - all this bad, stupid stuff - and then you have to get rid of everything except the very best.

Physically touring is tough on me, not that I am weakling. I lose weight. I can't always find the things I need to keep my strength up. It is very draining physically. It is taxing for my mind and body, but in a good way. It feels healthy in a way to purge things out of my system every night.

I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.

If you do things when you're burned out, it'll make you bitter.
