When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.

I'm so lucky that my songs are basically my diary put to music.

I like things you can touch and things you can keep, because every bit of communication we have is ephemeral in nature. You can just delete an e-mail and it's like it was never there.

When I listen to a song, I don't say, 'Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.' I'm thinking, 'That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.'

I think people inspire me the most. If I meet a person who is incredibly complex, and all of a sudden, I start thinking in rhymes, that person could be a muse.

People like you always want back the love they pushed aside. But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.
