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 was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

Young kids don't have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I'm mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I'm bringing. It's very clear and defined.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.
