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.
And if I'm being honest, I don't think I have an ex-boyfriend who would have something mean to say about me.
As a person who performs on stage, it's good to be emotionally open. If you mess with someone when they are in that state, it's like you're messing with an animal when it's eating.
