I was either going onstage or going into an interview or getting on a plane. You can't really feel everything fully when you don't have the time to process.

I don't mean that to be egotistical, but I'm not writing fluff. I'm not writing for 8-year-olds. I'm a woman and I'm a rock girl.

I've started a project called Planet Art. The purpose will be to remind people where I really believe we came from, which was a creative planet, and that everybody can be autonomous through their art.

My favorite color is purple. I have a huge velvet purple comforter on my bed.

I think we're heading into the Creative Age. We've passed through the Agricultural and then the Industrial and then the Information Age.

I like my lyrics to feel conversational and truthful, as if we're having real talk. I don't really like generic lyrics.

I had my dysfunctions, but music gave me peace and joy. I never felt in tune with the world. My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me. My art was my autonomy.
