Artists thrive off each other, and when you see other people doing cool stuff, it inspires you to do cool stuff.

I think everyone's so scared of other people judging them.

There's lots of interesting stuff happening in the world. Lots of good and bad things, and there's interest in music still, which there always will be, which is always a good thing.

I liked the idea of being a photographer, just that you take this one picture of this one thing that'll never happen again - it's a bit weird when you think about it.

Once you write and record a song, it becomes everyone else's song.

I don't know anything except being female, so I don't know the opposite of it.

The first song I wrote was called "You" and it was a love song about somebody who didn't even exist. I remember them all because I used to always write terrible poetry. I keep all my notebooks.

I think even though things are changing a bit, we still kind of tend to grow up with girls being like, 'Don't be too loud, don't be too rude, don't be too naughty,' or whatever, to act a certain way.

I don't like to overcook songs.

I've realized I don't need to keep looking for my path. I'm already on it. I just need to trust where it leads.

Pride tells me to give it back, but common sense tells pride to shut up, have a joint and relax. I shrug and put the note into my wallet.

What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness.

The grief we carry is part of the grief of the world. Hold it gently. Let it be honored. You do not have to keep it in anymore. You can let go into the heart of compassion; you can weep.

There are people who don't say a thing and sound magnificent!

Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

I have to force myself to get angry. But I want to show the world that there's another side to me, that I am capable of deep, deep anger and fury. They better watch out for how I'm treated.
