If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.

All you care about is how punk rock you feel when you wake up in the morning.

I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed.

Pop music will never be low brow.

People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.

I want kids. I want a soccer team, and I want a husband.

I was a strange, loud little kid who could sit at the piano and kill a Beethoven piece.
