I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

We should never listen to our feelings. They lead us astray.

Even to survive and have everyone in good health now is really precious. Bands half our age don't even get that lucky sometimes. It's good to practice gratitude, as they say. I used to be so ungracious, I wasn't even aware that I should be feeling grateful! Now I actually try and put it into my daily thought: Be grateful. It's not always so easy.

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.

I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female.
