I will never censor myself to please anyone.
The worst mistake a woman can make is to emulate a man.
All the best parts of art come from pain turned to celebration.
It's good to actually cry. Trust me, I've had a lot of practice over the years!
I really can't break away from wearing black and leather!

My song-writing has always been just about my life - usually my worst moments.
My grandma told me never, ever, ever to use soap on my face. But I do use lotion.
When I was in my early teens, I joined a cult. And we weren't allowed to listen to secular music or anything that wasn't made by us. So I spent a lot of time not listening to music, and by the time I could, I just didn't get into it.
