'Musician' is not a very respected title. I'm not a musician.

Sure you're powerless, sure you're just one person, sure you can't change anything... but you don't have to be miserable about it as well.

I am a humanist not a feminist. There's a big difference.

Just because my bank account hasn’t swelled astronomically I don’t consider myself any less of a success.

I’m like a one-woman protest machine.

I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance––it’s a silly thing to strive for. But, satisfaction––if you seek satisfaction you can succeed.

I think it’s important to encourage gluttony in all its formats.

I just prefer instrumental. I don’t need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear – I don’t need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.

I knew that my trauma, no matter what it was, was not unique. I knew that pain was the universal driving force of so many people – I knew that only in the details was it specific, and I just found it urgent to cut right to the chase and get right to the point.

If people could understand how much pleasure they could have by themselves, I think everyone would be a lot saner. I think that people really need a dose of quality time with one’s self.
