For some people, fame kills it and becomes more important than the music or the performance. But for me fame is like rocket fuel. The more my fans like what I'm doing, the more I want to give back to them. And my passion is so strong I can't sleep - I haven'tslept for three days.

I've always been famous, it's just no one knew it yet.

When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.

I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that what intimidates them is not my purse; it's my mind.

I write music every day.

I'm a single girl. I like to have a good time. I just sleep with the guys in the band all the time because it's easier.

I don't want to face the reality of what people want from a female pop star. Everybody always laughs because I feel so much more comfortable with, like, a giant paper bag on my whole body and paint on my face. Sometimes I try really hard to take it all off. But inevitably what's underneath is still not a straight edge. And I don't think it ever will be.
