“Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.”

Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.
I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No.
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV.
