Quote

I just feel compelled to continue to be transparent. It just really levels the playing field and eradicates the shame that I have, or that one might have, about being human. So I'm going to just keep going.

Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.

There's cleanliness to how I eat now. I'm much more in tune with my body, so now that I'm so in tune based on having become a semivegan, I can tell what foods affect energy levels. I can tell when I've been eating particularly high nutrient foods or I can tell when my glycemic levels are all over the place.

I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.

Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.

Let's grease the wheel over tea, let's discuss things in confidence. Let's be outspoken, let's be ridiculous, let's solve the world's problems.

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.

Love is thick and it swallows me whole.

I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there's been a liberating force that's come from it.

In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.

I love the universality of music and how it can viscerally connect people from culture to culture, regardless of anything. It kind of levels everything out and connects us. That universal sound thing is a big deal to me.

The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
