When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

To me, the coolest are the terminally uncool.

I can forgive a man’s past faults, his present shortcomings, and his future failures if every minute of every day he loves me like it’s his religion.

A churlish courtesy rarely comes but either for gain or falsehood.

Compassion and love, that's all.

Broken people give broken love. And we are all a little broken. You just have to forgive and sew up the wounds love delivers, and move on.
