When you long you can not achieve anything when you repeatedly have to lose all that you had hoped, you gradually become still.
I was a different sort of child, as half the children are. I was in that category of being free-spirited.
I like a little hardcore love.
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind...
I believe in the country America used to be.
I’m not trying to create an image or a persona. I’m just singing because that’s what I know how to do.
My songs are cinematic so they seem to reference a glamorous era or fetishize certain lifestyles, but that’s not my aim.
When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‘Off to the Races’ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.
Synchronicites. It’s been said that coincidences are God’s way of remaining anonymous. Synchronicities are a sign of divinity. You breathe in deeply and say: ‘I don’t want anything. I’m going to let things happen’
I mainly let my imagination be my reality. Fantasy is my reality.
Me and God we don’t get along.
As soon as the first person wrote about me, the articles became just blatant, all-out lies. I consider it slander. If I cared more, I’d kill them.
I wanted to be part of a high-class scene of musicians. It was half-inspired because I didn’t have many friends, and I was hoping that I would meet people and fall in love and start a community around me, the way they used to do in the ’60s.
When I walk outside, people have something to say about it.
Nothing I ever wrote had a message. It was just my own personal experience.
I’ve been really blessed to have a lot of romance in my life. It’s like my last luxury.
I’m always just surprised when someone writes something about me.
I’m personally more struck by visual things more than musical.
When you have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen to you or what your career’s going to end up like and you’re just really open to anything, then you don’t really have anything to loose.
High heels off; I’m feeling alive.
