Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.

But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.
Aimee Mann
I think, to be happy is to be interested and engaged.
Aimee Mann
You drew a bird that was here, a kind of sweet chanticleer. But with a terrible fear that the cage couldn't tame
Aimee Mann
In the '70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn't really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the '70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn't think you had a choice.
Aimee Mann
I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the other things I have become.
Aimee Mann
I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
Aimee Mann
Telling what you feel, trying to talk about what's important to you, does not make you weaker.
Aimee Mann
I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
Aimee Mann
The king of the jailhouse and the queen of the road think sharing the burden will lighten the load.
