Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly remade herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.

I'd like to do a tour with a bunch of people where it's just them and their guitars. It would be like Lilith Fair - only everyone plays alone, and it would be competitive.

I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.

I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.

I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.
