I believe nothing happens by mistake. You know, the universe has a divine plan. That sounds dramatic.
I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It’s all authentic.
I think America is amazing for its landscape and its history. California is beautiful, New York is beautiful, but when you’re a gypsy at heart, it probably suits you to be traveling.
Do you know how expensive it is to look this cheap?
I lost my reputation, I forgot my truth. But I have my beauty and I have my youth.
I’ve clearer idea of how I don’t want to be seen – as someone who does what everyone wants them to.
Sometimes, love feels like a life or death situation. Losing true love is pretty much as bad as it gets, other than actually dying or losing good health. Most people know that. Most people can relate. It’s like the end of the world.
I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself I ride, I just ride.
A lot of what’s been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I’ve never read anything written about me that was true. It’s been completely crazy.
I’d liked my first record, it was autobiographical and beautiful.
In the land of God’s and Monsters, I was an angel looking to get f-ked hard.
I found it hard to make friends in school, because I was a cerebral person.
My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.
I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time.
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.
Being human is difficult. Some people make it more difficult than others. I was one of those people.
Even if you’re the best singer in the world, there’s a good chance no one will ever hear you.
I was always a singer, it was nothing anyone planned on me doing for real, because it’s an unusual thing. I was just sort of saying, even having modest ambitions to have a small career at singing, it’s still really difficult to do that. Everyone wants to sing or act or whatever.
I sing the National Anthem, while I’m standing, over your body, hold you like a python.
I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.
