I don't want to make this sound negative at all, but in the best way possible I freaking give up. I give up. You can't try and make your life perfect. I'm just trying to have a good time, and I'm just trying to appreciate the things that I have around me. I give up on the 'dream' dream. I think that it's all a dream. I think it's all wonderful and terrible. And I give up in the nicest way.
If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
I'm here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something
I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
I caved in to what people wanted me to do. I thought that they weren't going to like me if I didn't.
For a while after the rape, I was afraid of my own sexuality, because I got raped right about the time when I started developing physically.
There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love.
I just want to feel everything.
I stand by everything I've ever said, apologies included.
Everything that happens with me gets made out to be a fiasco, but I have every right to do everything I've ever done. I stand by everything I've ever said, apologies included.
I've been a bad, bad girl - I've been careless with a delicate man.
