Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.

Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.

Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.

When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

If I have taken part in anything perceived as the fame machine, it's been my choice. My motivations certainly have been different from some people's that I've worked with. But it's okay to work equally passionately for two different reasons.

As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.

I'm sorry to myself, for treating me worse than I would anybody else.

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 don't believe in bad. I believe in relativity. The only way we can know what we call good is if there's also something we call bad.

My brother says that I was writing songs about fate while he was off playing soccer. Now I tell him he's 33 and being a professional while I'm playing soccer with my friends. Ha!

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

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.

I'm lost, but I'm hopeful.

Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it.

Europe seems a little softer, but in America it's harsh. In L.A., where I live, it's all about perfectionism.

I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.
