I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.
I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.
Trying to force creativity is never good.
We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.
I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
The winter here's cold and bitter, it's chilled us to the bone. We haven't seen the sun for weeks, too long too far from home. I feel just like I'm sinking, and I claw for solid ground. I'm pulled down by the undertow, I never thought I could feel so
Every time I'm close to you, there's too much I can's say and you just walk away... I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the words to say I need you so.
Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.
Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me might not be right for you but it's right for me...
Why are there so many songs about ravens, and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions. Rainbows have nothing to hide
We asked all sorts of people from all different walks of music and this is who we got this year, who said yes. I think music crosses barriers and boundaries. If it's good, it's good. We're after good music.
