Life is like a roller coaster. It's never going to be perfect - it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it's all worth it.

I'm an intuitive musician. I have no real technical skills. I can only play six chords on the guitar.

I always wear the same thing onstage.

When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.

I know from an early age that I'm very comfortable in front of people. When I was a young girl, I'd love giving book reports.

Toyland, toyland . . . once you pass its portals you may never return again.

I've always thrived on the encouragement of others.
