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

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.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That's what inspired the 'Off to the Races' melodies. That's one of the times when you're feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

I just look for someone who makes me feel like life is an exciting opportunity and, you know, just like to be alive.

Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything.

My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.

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