Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are.

I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.

I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.

Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.

I like to make pasta with puttanesca sauce and arugula salad.

I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.

I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.

I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.

I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.

I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.

Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.

When I pray, I'm just talking to what some people might call our higher selves: God, myself, my intuition, my heart. Whatever that is, that's where I go.

I love the universality of music and how it can viscerally connect people from culture to culture, regardless of anything. It kind of levels everything out and connects us. That universal sound thing is a big deal to me.

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate -- the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days -- there's more love and a lot less hate!

The person who knows how will always have a job. The person who knows why will always be his boss.

I was 9 when I wrote 'Fate Stay with Me.' It was this fictional song about romance gone wrong.

My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going!

When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.

So many boys, so little time.

They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in.
