I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.
The idea of service to humanity, putting yourself in situations where people have much less than you do, puts life in perspective.
My son youngest son David's favorite song - he plays guitar - and he likes "Devil Pray." That's his favorite.
Motherhood was the beginning of my own journey asking the question, 'Why am I here?' I had to stop and think: What am I doing to teach my daughter? What do I believe in?
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
Once you start turning over rocks and reaching out to help people, there's a whole avalanche coming right behind it. And it seems never-ending. But when you see the fruits of your labor, you feel like it's possible.
When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.
I panic every time I put out a record. I think every artist does.

There is order in the universe, even though it looks like chaos. We separate the world into categories: this is good and this is bad. But life is set up to trick us. It's a series of illusions we invest in. And ultimately those investments don't serve our understanding, because physicality is always going to let you down, because physicality doesn't last.
When we take a picture, we have a negative. We put the right solution on it and, suddenly, the picture comes to life. So what do we do? We take the negative and turn it into a positive.
I'm not crazy about how sort of homogenized pop music become. It used to be much more diverse. Maybe it's just what's played on the radio sounds very much the same.
I didn't set out to write certain kinds of songs - I just set out to write good songs.
