I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.
I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
I was a redhead and a middle child; both can make you feel excluded. It's like fighting to be included, in the swim of things. After a while you start to develop a bit of a victim mentality, which isn't great for a happy life.
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.
I've got no timetable. I'm sort of sick of timetables, to be honest.
Selling millions of albums is a sign you've infiltrated the culture.
What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.
You don't really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men.
The sensation of never feeling good enough or pretty enough will always be there. It's a constant dialogue, and you just learn to be more powerful than that other voice. When you hear it come up, you shut it down.
I'm a loud person; I love noise and aggression. I crave contact.
I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.
I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.
Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.
I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female.
