If I were a guy, it would be, you know, just a different set of problems I have to carry along.

There's a part of me that is really, really happy with all of my success lately because of what it can get me and what it can buy me in the fact that my music will hopefully reach more people. But it also makes me a little bit miserable because the minute the spotlight is on you, people start flinging sh*t at you for whatever reason.

I think people have been obsessed with the wrong question, which is how do we make people pay for music? What if we started asking, how do we let people pay for music?

I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.

I remember being a teenager and being really impressed by let's sit around and b*tch people, and I have so little time for those people nowadays.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.
