When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.

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

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.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

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