I think that plain old intellectualism [can be] a more powerful force than the idea of the femme fatale.

I only know how to do me, so that's just what I'm going to do.

I believe in free love and that's just how I feel. It's just my experience of being with different kinds of men and being born without a preference for a certain type of person. For me, that is my story in finding love in lots of different people, and that's been the second biggest influence in my music.

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!

I wanted to be part of a high-class scene of musicians. It was half-inspired because I didn't have many friends, and I was hoping that I would meet people and fall in love and start a community around me, the way they used to do in the '60s.

I sing the National Anthem, while I'm standing, over your body, hold you like a python.

For me, the issue of feminism is just not an interesting concept... Whenever people bring up feminism, I’m like, god. I’m just not really that interested.
