I've always made music - pretty much since I was born.

I wear whatever makes me comfortable on stage, so that I feel confident. Some days it's a plaid skirt with a button-up and other days it's jeans with a hockey jersey and platforms.

I like writing different types of music. I don't like being stuck into one thing.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

Dreams do come true. They definitely do come true. It just takes a while, I guess. Sometimes it doesn't, but for me it did, anyway.

I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.

I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

I hate when people call me a socialite because you have to have money to be a socialite, which I don't have.

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?

I'm pretty sarcastic, and sometimes that doesn't come across on the Internet. It seems I'm being rude or stupid.

Sometimes a night of over-eating leaves you hungry for something you can't name. An emptiness haunted me. An emptiness I didn't have a name for until I met Jeb. Now, I' m starving.

True freedom is a freedom with clear boundaries. True freedom understands the real essence of do’s and don’ts. A freedom without restrictions that brings comfort is a freedom in chains.

There are two MFA programs here at the University of Texas, and I read on the jury of both of them. And it's amazing to me how many really talented young writers seem to fear humor.

You never know what motivates you.

Classical thermodynamics ... is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced ... will never be overthrown.

I talk to my dad all the time, he's more like my buddy than my father, and he's not happy that I use him in my act. But I tell him, I have to get something out of this.

There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.

Everyone had an opinion and no one had a solution.

We lost the connection between the entertainment world and the neighborhoods.

Commercial jobs are pretty easily adjustable because they only take a few hours to complete, which is one of the reasons they are a Godsend to the actor.
