I've always been like, "Look, you're going to die and it's not going to matter after you die that you got out onstage and bombed."

I am such a bossy producer and such a control freak that there's a part of me that really longs to be bossed around.

People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer.

Not to rag on myself, but when people say, 'What does it feel like to be an icon?' I'm like, 'My dog does not think I'm an icon, my cat does not think I am an icon, my cousin does not think I am an icon.' I have a really lovely group of friends, and I just don't think about it.

People can be in a prison of their own mind. [There are] people who don't have their hearts open to other people's ideas, and can't listen to other people's ideas without feeling like they're being slapped in the face. Those people are more in a prison.

A lot of artists are just really stupid about money, and it's really hard to find somebody who kind of thinks of shuffling money around and doing business as an art.
