I appreciate my music is famous, but I'd rather my face wasn't so that I can just live a normal life.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart.

I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.

I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.

I may cry ruining my make up, Wash away all things you've taken.. I don't care if I don't look pretty, Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking.

I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

What's tragic isn't that we can't retaliate...What's truly tragic is......being consumed with vengeance and not being able to live your life.

Freud is all nonsense

I won't buy into the Hollywood thing...I want to be in good movies.

'The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.

The wise do not investigate such silliness.

As human beings, we have the blessing and the curse that we're able to adapt to almost anything. No matter how extreme the circumstances you're in, they become normal.

Being true to oneself more often leads one toward success rather than away from it.

The best way to appreciate your job is to, is here to stay.

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

Love is my religion. Hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it.
