Someone told me once that Lucinda Williams takes six years between albums, and that's what stuck to me; it's like, you really are a factory. You don't do things to make them, on your own time.

It's funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day-your body-can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It's like carrying an art piece around with you all the time.

Even if you're only wearing trainers and a vest, eyeliner will instantly transform you. People always look put-together when their make-up's on and their eyes are popping - just ask Amy Winehouse!

Even talking, I'm super-loud. I could never have that kind of meek, little wispy whimsical lavender and lace voice. It comes from my body. There's no way I can fight it.

All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds.

I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.

I'm passionate about color. My best friend and I sit and look at Pantone books for fun.

The reason I exercise is for the quality of life I enjoy.

I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set.

He that is down needs fear no fall.

Not for me. If I want to tune everybody out, I just take off my glasses and enjoy the haze.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

I'd like to think that the best bunker buster is a diplomat.

And some cease feeling Even themselves or for themselves. Dullness best solves The tease and doubt of shelling
