You can draw inspiration from anything. If you're a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you're casually talking to says something that makes you so mad - you can create an entire scenario around that.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.

It’s the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love

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

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you're not interested in them so that they'll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What's he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don't want to sign up for that.

I don't really know that much about love, it turns out.

In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.
