I've got this thing where I always kind of diss the older stuff and favor the newer stuff. I mean, it's not just my thing; every artist or musician is like that, I guess.

I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

How can the planet keep turning and turning and not get so bored it explodes?

We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail.

A Perl program is correct if it gets the job done before your boss fires you.

I'm a Gucci girl all the way.

All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?

Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.
