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

I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

I grew up with a lot of brothers and male cousins, so I had to worm my way in to get heard. But that's sort of what excites me.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

And, you know, I still haven't been contacted by Mick Jagger, either!

When I was young, I used to need other people's albums and I got very involved with their music and it meant a lot to me.
