I'm just kind of sick of music. I don't know what I want to do. It's not that I feel suicidal or anything, but I just want to end this life. I just want to be somebody else now. Sometimes I feel like that. You always think, "If I just cut my hair really short and dye it brown and put on a little goatee, no one would know it was me, and I could..."

I think people at most record labels really like music, but it's hard because everything is so subjective, and everyone's so creative in their own right.

I really don't care what people say. It's amazing that feminism continues to exist at all, considering how much counter-feminism is out there.

I will say that art may well be the only thing that lasts, so I guess it's worth trying.

I have trouble with any kind of focus or concentrating, or getting anything done at all, really.

My mom. She really encouraged me. That's the trouble with education: Unless you have a really supportive parent, you get left behind.

It was not very hard to do a double album. Nobody thinks it's a good idea if you're an unknown singer-songwriter. But I just kind of feel like if I want something, I can get it. That's the good side of being American, or something, you know?
