Love is the core of everything - nothing survives without it.
I'm driven. I am. I'm driven for some reason. But I don't know where I'm going.
I used to do drugs, but don't tell anyone or it will ruin my image.
The language of love letters is the same as suicide notes.
Being a rock star is like being a cult leader - you really have to be in your own religion.
I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.
Only dumb people are happy.
I'm not a woman. I'm a force of nature.
Mainstream success is important - that's probably anathema to an indie publication like Pitchfork, but it's what I believe having experienced it personally.
I've discreetly dated a lot of people - I once dated a billionaire, mostly because it was fun to say, "I'm dating a billionaire," but we did not have the same taste in music, and it was doomed.
I've been screwed by as many women as I have by men, in terms of lawyers. But lawyers don't count. If you take lawyers out of the equation, you have a more fair playing field. There is a sisterhood.
I think commercial success is really important. It means there are more people listening, and you're affecting the zeitgeist more. If only a hundred people know you exist, it's harder to get your message across.
If I see a chick playing guitar, I'm drawn to that band immediately. I want to know everything, even if it's completely electronic. But you have to really get my attention if you're male. I can't help it. It's part of my nature.
I'm a major feminist. There's a real politic in life, where I've been in rooms where real decisions are made, and it's a lot of powerful white men. There are women in those rooms, but not as many as there should be.
