In terms of fitting in, you know, I don't have a lot of armor up. I'm a raw nerve and it's really uncomfortable for a lot of people.

Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.

It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

If Jennifer Lopez could write songs like Fiona Apple's, she wouldn't have to spend so many hours at the gym.

I couldn't feel good about myself hanging out in Armani clothes when my girlfriend can't even pay her heating bill. I'd feel foul and I'd be embarrassed.
