Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.

I don't mind people not liking me as long as there's mutual respect.

People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.

I don't think anything I do in life is planned. Sometimes I regret that and I feel like I try to take ahold of the wheel, but I'm also always super excited when things pop up spontaneously and when I'm a little bit out of my depth. I just find that that thrills me.

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

That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win

You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.
