After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.

I believe life's too short for compromises and bad fitting jeans

Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.

It's not about being a sex prostitute. It's about this power play in the war of the sexes. It's a rat race, like, "I'm in charge," "No, I'm in charge."

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.

I had to do this album. I tried thinking, "I'm not going to do it." But then I'm sitting there getting all suicidal and depressed, and I just start writing. It's like this inner drive. If I could choose, I would probably be living in the countryside and be fine with that, but I'm not.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.
