philosophical mean important
Just because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn't mean it's not important or relevant.
girl successful ugly
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
thinking shallow-person people
My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me "witch house."
cute dresses needs
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
inspire trying want
I want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.
thinking stuck music-is
I think Canadians make a lot of music because we're stuck inside all the time.
butterfly people tears
I cry really easily. If I see a butterfly, I'll practically burst into tears. So it's really hard for me to yell at people, because I'll feel so guilty about it. But if I don't, then they don't take me seriously and it's this endless cycle.
voice singers sound
Mariah Carey is my favorite singer because her voice sounds utterly groundless. It's not even a human voice; it almost sounds mechanical.
creative unhappy age
From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
beautiful giving decision
Lets make it known that we don't want to give away our beautiful homeland to corporate interests. It is our right as Canadians to be part of these decisions. The only thing standing between this world and environmental catastrophe is us
thinking innovative ifs
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
important feels i-can
I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.
holocaust nuclear should
By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.
creating scary scary-things
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
