I do not accept drinks from disapproving gentlemen.

You know those days when you get the mean reds?

No... the blues are because you're getting fat or because it's been raining too long. You're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?

If I could find a real life place to make me feel like Tiffany's, then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name.

Sometimes I don't pick up the guitar for six months or so, Other times I get away, go to a hotel or something, to write songs. Or go stay with a friend and bring the dog and do stuff away from my normal routine. Then I sit down and play guitar at night. I do it differently every time . There is no set way.

There's not one thing in particular that influences my music, but I write about what I know. It's based in personal experience. That's not to say all the songs are biographical, because sometimes it's what I've seen in others' lives.

I’ve got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can’t go to Sing Sing with a green face.

I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart.

I am and will always be a HUGE Star Wars Geek and wanted to study film making. I really am not a fan of writing- I prefer storytelling and rather jump to storyboards to relay my vision then a lot of wordy words.

I'm just crazy about Tiffany's!

Certain shades of limelight wreck a girl's complexion.

If we're going to be friends let's get one thing straight right now. I hate snoops.

Years from now, years and years, one of those ships will bring me back, me and my nine Brazilian brats. Because yes, they must see this, these lights, the river -- I love New York, even though it isn't mine, the way something has to be, a tree or a street or a house, something, anyway, that belongs to me because I belong to it.
