I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.

I'm just trying to do my best every day, hoping that I have done my best every day, and its very easy in a way, but also it's not that easy. Every day counts.

I'm not interested so much in collaboration. You see that from the history of my albums.

Art is my life and my life is art.

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. Don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.

Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'
