I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up? Finding someone else you can't get enough of. Someone who wants to be with you, too.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn't have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it's sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I'm social, frankly.

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

I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.
