I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.
My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible; no messages sent to me to say that I couldn’t do anything.
Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it’s debilitating.
I rejected the God that was portrayed as masculine and judgmental and cruel at times. The concept of us bring not worthy to receive him is something I used to say every Sunday in church, and eventually I just couldn’t say it with any conviction.
I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It’s my hippie way of life.
I think some people think I’m a smarty-pants. Some people think I’m intense, some people think I’m super-esoteric and nuts.
I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is.
I believe we’ve been given free will, and we can take responsibility for our own lives and for creating our own environments – which I think at times can be a little much for people to deal with.
I’m doing it because I choose it. And if it’s not working, I can make a change.
It’s when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn’t work for me.
Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.
In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school.
I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!
I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It’s just fear being projected onto art.
Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary – it is a really attractive quality.
Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there’s been a liberating force that’s come from it.
