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.

Men find powerful women so threatening, and finding a partner was starting to look laughable, because I would be really attracted to guys and they would just be so threatened and I didn't like feeling threatening, I didn't want to feel threatened, I didn't want to feel like I was towering over anybody.

There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that.

On many days, harder than the act of making the art itself is the act of sharing it and living in a culture that you know is built to tear you down.

I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.

I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.

The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist

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

Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.

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?

Everyone I know shares toothbrushes. Everyone I know sleeps on each other's floor. Everyone I know uses what they've got and shares what they've got.

When you're an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have to hit your own head with your own handmade wand. And you feel stupid doing it.

When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.
