Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.

Most of the time, the creative part is like playing in a sandbox. I can sit here and work for 12 hours and not get tired of it.

The way I work is mostly unconscious and instinctive.

Before I moved to Brooklyn to pursue music, I was a high school dropout and speed freak who'd been living with her dealer boyfriend in Bucks County, Pennsylvania at 16.

No matter how far I go, I'm still your person. We stand together now.

We're all lost souls here. It's a good thing we've got each other.

I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.

It is up to us as lawmakers to provide the resources and streamlined processes that will enable our federal forest managers to become the best possible steward of our lands.

An awful realization that I have been fooling myself all my life thinking there was a next thing to do to keep the show going and actually I'm just a sick clown and so is everybody else
