Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.

Better a loving single-parent family than a 'conventional' family where the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue.

I run into a lot of people who are instantly filled with ridicule at the idea that someone wouldn't eat meat.

I feel like people might be slightly less inclined to hate me as much as they did in the past, and I think part of that is selling fewer records.

For years, my mom dated a man who was really active in the Baptist church in the town next to the town I grew up in, and so he used to drag me to these Baptist church services that lasted forever. I remember that I didn't like the church services, but I really liked the music.
