The person I would trust the most is my mom. She's just really creative... She's a playwright and she's a musician.

I'm not the type of woman who shows off my body; I'm a vocalist and I'm a writer and I think people see that more so than they see anything else. That's just who I am.

Why do we love love when love seems to hate us?

When I find myself having that much trouble with a song or a character or a story, I tend to move on.

After you've been away, people's expectations are like, "Well, you better have something to show for it. Tell us why you've been away so long!"

Everybody is going to love me and this is not being cocky - this is just what I see.

If you hear a good song, it makes you hopeful like, That is out there.

As I'm writing it, I'm kind of curious to see what's going to happen. It almost feels like I'm the writer and I'm the listener, too.

I think a lot of the way that I try to write my stories come from watching my mom write plays and trying to do that.

I'm not great with breathing, like holding notes. I usually don't. A lot of people wouldn't believe it, but I don't focus on technical stuff.

What's kind of weird is that when I'm writing I don't know where I'm going to go.

All the repressed emotions and subconscious desires in time lead to some kind of psychological or physiological breakdown, if kept unchecked.

We used to believe that memories were best retrieved in the same place that they were first laid down. Like everything else we think we know, that's not so clear anymore.

Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Jealous, adj. Unduly concerned about the preservation of that which can be lost only if not worth keeping.

I like stylish men although I'm someone who sees a man who's not dressed right and think what I could do with him to make him cute. I'm a typical Jewish woman like that.

I go to the dentist every six months, I get a cleaning, so... I'm fortunate enough that those fluoride treatments as a child worked. Not getting any cavities.

You don't go from a Yugo to a Benz, back to a Yugo.

I'm super down with being irresponsible. I'm just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people.

Over the years, I've learned that a confident person doesn't concentrate or focus on their weaknesses - they maximize their strengths.

I think that from the beginning of me making music, I always had it in my mind to combine things that I like to listen to in a way that I had never heard before.
