I don't like to think 10 years down the road.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

I seek to know my soul.

The whole world is a personality cult.

Defy the pundits again and reach for a high voter turnout that'll shock the establishment.

A lot of people plan for failure, but they don't plan for success, and that's a big problem, especially in the TV world 'cause you're trying to find out what your show is.

It's so much easier to be cynical.

Flowers and fruit are only the beginning. In the seed lies the life and the future.

Experimenters are the shock troops of science.

I just wanted to be an actor. It's better to be well-rounded.

I owe everything to the army.

[On the 1982 intruder into her bedroom:] I realized immediately that it wasn't a servant because they don't slam doors.
