People have the power to redeem the work of fools.

An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.

I know I'm a strong performer. I'm not an evolved musician.

I don't have an image of myself, when I'm walking down the street, like I'm a rock star or something. I'm a human being, I'm a friend, I'm a mom, I'm a writer, and I'm an artist. I do play electric guitar and all of that but in the end I'm just a person. I really don't live like a rock star, economically or socially. I still live a pretty simple life beside the traveling aspect of it.

Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar.

I know fashion is a material thing, but we live in a material world and I love clothes.

I knew if I lived long enough I would be poet laureate of something.
