A lot of what's been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I've never read anything written about me that was true. It's been completely crazy.

The world needs poetry now more than ever. It's the only thing that can keep music from copying itself and sounding the same.

I already have success. I had it a long time ago. It's nothing to do with my music. Music is secondary, at this point. The good stuff is really good, but I have success because I'm at peace and I'm a good person in my everyday life and that's important.

I lost my reputation, I forgot my truth. But I have my beauty and I have my youth.

I am usually always singing about the same god damn person so I will love him forever but you know, it's all good. It's all good!

[About her boyfriend Barrie] We kick each others asses. We give each other input every night.

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