I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

I'm just like everyone. I like to feel togetherness with someone.

Just because I'm talking about something that might have been a sad or painful situation doesn't mean that I'm sad or tortured 24 hours a day any more than anybody else is.

You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.

I feel a lot more comfortable being me these days. I'm constantly told that my work is good. A lot of fans and a lot of other artists say my songs and albums mean a lot to them. Isn't that what's important?

I'm in a contented, loving relationship, but that doesn't mean I'm not struggling with other things that are going on around me in the world.
