I get painted quite a bit as a tragic figure because of some of the stuff that's happened in my life.

An interview will seem very sane to me, and I'll find out that the journalist was laughing out of the side of his mouth half of the time.

I'm really quite happy to say that in my early 40s, I wake up feeling sexy, and I can't say I felt that way in my late 20s.

Vulnerability can be empowering as a songwriter and storyteller.

I think that people who can't believe in faeries aren't worth knowing. I just think that alternate realities make you a good writer. If your work is any more than one dimension, you believe in faeries.
