It was not designed for me to be 35 and still doing the same thing. But in another sense, it's like I've had an extended adolescence. It helps that I look young, too.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.

I dont think I threw myself into music because I had the best intentions; it was because I was really angry.

I always wanted to get into rock music so I could cover up my real personality, change my voice, and create a false self to hide behind.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

I never see songs as permanent. I'm always in a state of revising everything.

My goal is to make something special and pure, and that keeps me going, keeps me busy on the path of sobriety.

One of my biggest challenges is figuring out how to shoehorn my newfound knowledge into conversations.

Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable.

We have all of us the two natures - the brother and the sister! Not one of us is quite woman - not one of us is all man!

If there were mistakes, there were mistakes. But a man has to have a line of work, no?

But at the age of 44, I sure hope to be a better businesswoman. I want to get the music straight to my fans.

Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame; Till his relish grown callous, almost to displease, Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.

I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way - I just feel good in my skin.

For me, reading is reading.
