Quote

Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.

Image
I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.

That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.

Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.

We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

Image
What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I'm about as a person and as a writer.

My yearn for home is broadened Patriotism expanded By callings from beyond So I pack my things Nothing precious All things sacred

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'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.
