Writing music is my therapy. It’s very purifying!.

I wanted to be a veterinarian until I saw a video of a vet performing surgery on a dog. Then I decided I wanted to be a pianist..

I refuse to accept Pluto's resignation as a planet..

The way that I've always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love..

There's nothing sexy about skin and bone. You gotta have some junk in the trunk..

I'm the goofball. I'm the person cracking people up..

I love folk; that's a big part of my background..

I'm not the fastest writer. I can't just crank out ideas that are good enough..

Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' had a lot of good songs. It's my range, so I use it to warm up a lot..

I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them..

You can't control all the crazy stuff that happens to you. All you can control is the way you handle it..

We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be..

When I was in high school, I listened to a lot of death metal bands..

I love tiny, plastic realistic food magnets. I don't know why. They're hilarious..

I try to be feminist in, like, I love myself and I don't need someone else's approval..

I'm singing from my heart now more than ever. I've gotten a lot braver with my writing..

I love sushi. But after too much of it, it just starts to taste like a dead animal that hasn't been cooked..

We've all fallen, but at the same time we're not broken. There is the hint that we are going to get up again..

I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy..

Everyone on the bus can laugh at me, and I'll be like, 'Screw you guys: I look good!'.

The only comfort within chaos is admitting you have no control..
