People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me.

I think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight... It's not a gay wedding, it's just a wedding... It's not a gay marriage, it's just a marriage.

I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.

I'm used to going into the studio and smoking and drinking until three in the morning. But I can't drink as much because I'm breastfeeding. See this glass of wine? Before, I'd have, like, four of them. Now, one is good. Oh, and I quit smoking. . . I've exorcised a lot of my demons, but I'm still working on myself. I think I'll be a work in progress for the rest of my life.

My parents divorced, and I didn't have much of a daddy growing up.

On her daughter: And she's going through all these changes. You know, it's just crazy times.

I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.
