It's good to feel excited by the environment you're in.

I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

I enjoy looking like a tart and thinking like a politician.

I long ago learned that you can't expect people to interpret the songs in the way they had meant for you, as the writer.

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

When I was young, I had idols that I thought were wonderful. I wanted to be just like them.

But even when I do give interviews, I always come across as such a completely different person. It seems like there's no controlling it anyway.
