Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

If Americans thought music and art belonged together, they wouldn't have the Grammys.

I don't like the idea of famous people.

No drug is a cure, though. Drugs are just big pieces of tape they stick over warning lights.

Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.

I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
