I am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.

I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

Fake it, fake your confidence until it's real. I think it's a good way to live most of your life.

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

When you are with the wrong person, who doesn't really love you, all you want is to be adored. It makes you more inward and needy. Gross.

I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.

I quite like dark humor.

My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.

I feel like artists that are always quite sad in real life always make really happy music, and artists who are really bouncy and bubbly always make really sad music.

If you believe something enough, it comes true eventually, and that's so true even with lies. If you tell yourself a lie, after a few years you'll think it's true.

We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.

The beliefs you hold strongly in your mind will become your dreams and in time become your reality.

I over analyze situations because Im scared of what may happen if I'm not prepared for it.

I may have got (Paul) Waner out, but I never fooled him.

The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot.

Sometimes success breeds apathy. Sometimes when you're doing quite well for yourself you're not as tough as you need to be.

Never be sincere - sincerity is the death of writing.

O God! I ask You for the means to do good, to avoid evil and to love the poor.

Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
