“It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.”
Anger“If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.”
Experience“It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.”
Anger“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.”
Anger“Over the last couple of years, I've really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it.”
Family“Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.”
Music“I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.”
Mom“I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.”
Alone“My three addictions of choice are food, love and work.”
Food“My greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is in personal romantic relationships with a man.”
Romantic“Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!”
Family“I didn't want to be one of those women who wake up at 63 years old and realize they've missed the window of opportunity for marriage and children.”
Marriage“A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.”
Good“Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.”
Beauty“Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.”
Art“At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.”
Best“Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.”
Money“Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.”
Peace“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.”
Famous“I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.”
Age“I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.”
Movies“I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.”
