I understand that we are actually complicated people but we are also dreadfully simple.

What I hope is to really focus on being a songwriter. I'd love to write songs for other people; that's something I'd really like to start doing.

There's a weighing kind of overemphasis on sexuality, which disempowers music generally, because it silences all the other voices; it makes music a very powerless force for changing the world.

What I like about being a musician is that I find the thing soothing, but I also give the soothing to other people.

I don't feel like me unless I have my hair shaved. So even when I'm an old lady, I'm going to have it.

At some point the entire population of the earth is gonna have to look back at the kind of essence of spirituality which is basically caring about each other.
