My career has been: first you have to prove yourself, then there's the sophomore record, then there's this thing and that thing, and you always want to be understood.
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
No, I've never wanted kids. But I do read about parenting a lot.
I also just accept that I might never want to write a song again.
Everybody acts like I'm nuts. I'm not nuts I just want to feel it all.
I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.
I have a very steadfast tendency to parent myself, to monitor my development into the person I want to be. I've tried to keep the corruption minimal.
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
I want to be like the patron saint of reality
I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.
I caved in to what people wanted me to do. I thought that they weren't going to like me if I didn't.
I just want to feel everything.
What will an angel say that the devil wants to know?
I only write when I'm angry or sad, so because that's when I just have to write... If I'm having a good time and I'm happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I'm doing to go and write at the piano?
