Life is sweet, life is also very short.

I was shy. Bookish. The kind of 13-year-old girl who, instead of having a boyfriend, would have a crush on a dead, 19th-century author!

TV holds a close second to cars for destroying our society. It's a failed experiment.

I've never sold my publishing. I have 100% control of all of my publishing and that includes everything, every use of my songs.

I don't want to live in a culture of despair. I'd like to live in a culture of hope.

I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.

I think I don't invest so much time in thinking about people's sexuality. I just take people as individuals.
