When I say “when you’re always almost lonely, you forget to take it slowly,” I mean that you don’t always take care of yourself.

It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.

I am a fan of the true crime and horror genres! So, I've got a dark side too.

I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.

“Money to Burn” is a fantasy. I mean, I would love for that to be a true story. Most of my songs are written in metaphors.

You can't always be like 'sunshine and roses'. I like a little bit of darkness.

It's crazy in just the difference it makes turning up to sound check without a hangover.

I have these thoughts. I think "What if the show doesn't sell well? What if it's a half-empty room?" These are the paranoia thoughts that go through my head on a day-by-day basis.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

I think I've got a lot of dark lines in this record [Wild Things] that I've hidden quite nicely among the nice things.

I NAME THIS LAND TOMORROW, FOR IT SHALL LAST FOREVERMORE!

Follow your heart

Live in the seasons of life like you live in the seasons of the world.

When we ... devote ourselves to the strict and unsparing performance of duty ihen happiness comes of itself.

I had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.

I am not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it.

I was a carpenter for a time and everybody watches what you do.

It is not differences of opinion; it is geographical lines, rivers, and mountains which divide State from State, and make different nations of mankind.

We can't give our children the future, strive though we may to make it secure. But we can give them the present.

I believe that in fact it would be economically reasonable and logical to reach a compromise [on oil production], I am sure that everybody understands this.
