When you're 25 or 30, you know, you can't wear lime-green eye shadow anymore.

I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it. If I wanted to take a spontaneous road trip, I did it. At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it.

A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.

I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation.

being open isn't the same as being weak.

Most of my fans, if you were to look on their iPods, you'd see every possible genre of music represented in some capacity.

I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?
