Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.

I'm proud that I was one of the first ones out, singing loud and proud.

I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I'm too something. I'm too this, I'm too that. And my music has never really had a home. I've been this floating alternative. I'm too mainstream for alternative. I'm too alternative for mainstream. And I'm just kind of wandering.

I just really allowed my muse to be my guide and I just go with whatever I'm feeling.

We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner?'

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.
