I feel like I'm 100 years old. I can't tell you what I did today. I can't tell you what I did for seven years. I can't tell you. It happens so seamlessly - I'm just floating along and seven years go by.
I still don't know what Episcopalian means.
I got all my work done to graduate in two months and then they were like, I'm sorry, you have to take driver's ed. I just kind of went, Oh, forget it.
Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.
I never went to concerts when I was a kid, so I never knew if what I was doing onstage was right.
I'm incredibly impressed by people who organize to achieve a goal, and believe that they can make a difference and then go ahead and do just that. I think it's incredible.
I've gone through stages where I hate my body so much that I won't even wear shorts and a bra in my house because if I pass a mirror, that's the end of my day.
I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.
I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.
I dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
The quick success was a bit strange to get used to.
What's really good is African drum music.
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while.
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano.
How can you go wrong with two people in love? If a good boy loves a good girl, good. If a good boy loves another good boy, good. And if a good girl loves the goodness in good boys and good girls, then all you have is more goodness, and goodness has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar; I don't get paparazzi around me.
If I have one success in my relationship history, it's with the people who listen to my music. I think that they'll be there with me forever, and I'll be there with them forever. And I'm totally satisfied with that.
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
I had really bad obsessive-compulsive disorder. At its worst, I was compelled to leave my house at three o'clock in the morning and go out in the alley because I just knew that the paper-towel roll I threw in the recycling bin was uncomfortable, like it was lying the wrong way, and I would be down in the garbage.
