People are really talkative in New York. Someone always comes up to me and says 'Hi' during the day.

I wish I could escape into some alter-ego, just so I could feel more comfortable onstage.

I'm the gangsta Nancy Sinatra.

Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

Sold my soul long ago, nothing left to choose. I will follow Satan. Dancing in the dark.

I was, you know, a mess. I totally wanted to kill myself every day.
