Once you get to know sad...she's got some
sweet little dresses, you know?
The second grade was a bummer. I sat in the corner more than any other kid
in the class until the ninth grade. I tried to be an inspiring force but
my teachers and I were at odds. Independent thinking was not their
priority.
When you come to my shows, you think you're walking into this really yummy
lunch, and little do you know you ARE lunch.
I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional
player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally
reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying. For the most part,
piano are female to me. Sometimes they're dykes, and they're always good
fun.
I never had a fantasy of being a bride as
a child after I realised that Robert Plant would never marry me. And with
Dad being a preacher, I saw too many weddings. You see, I don't think I could
ever have gotten married in America.
Truly, I was a sweetheart when I was little, like the Honeysuckle Faery.
Sweet-pea. But sweet-peas are not popular after second grade. Sweet-peas
become nerds really fast.
Let go and love, "F*ck that sh*t! My heart is scarred. I have a tear running
down the middle of it and I'm not ready to say, 'Let go and love. (A thought
on Blood Roses)
Even if you don't read history or you aren't interested in anything that
happened before the '60s, there are reasons why we think the way we do. There
are reasons why people are going crazy right now.
Lucifer understands love better than anybody. You know he's done a mean tango
with Greta Garbo a few times.
I like butter and the people who like butter.
I wish I could get into those plastic snake pants again!
What would we do without our assholes?
I don't call them groupies but 'ears with feet'. It's more about interaction.
They give me something and I give them something. This is how friendship
works.
When they gave me this project, I felt really challenged. I tried to contribute
something that I thought would add a different subtext to the scene and give
Ethan Hawke's character a different angle. (on Siren)
I'm a winter girl; I like coming out when things are desolate and everybody's
ready to slit their wrists.
The people on the internet know more about what I am doing than I do. Like,
they will say that I am going to be in this mall on this day, and sure enough,
I am there.
When things get really empty for me, empty in my outer life, in my inner
life, the music world, the songs come across galaxies to find me.
There are things that I would disagree with Jesus about - and I feel really
good about that.
It doesn't matter where I am as long as there is a fat Italian cook near
by.
I'm the thing that fundamentalist Christians cringe
over.
That was my role when I was nine - a freak child
Guys would like to think they're the flu wouldn't they but sometimes they're just, Achoo.
I'm not sane.
I describe myself as Attilla the honey.
I'm not a part of this business. I was playing music before people were peeing in their beds.
I am a real believer in looking at pain and taking it out shopping.
Mothers drag their daughters out of my shows because their daughters are going, 'Hey, maybe I don't have to think about these things. Why am I worrshipping some dead guy?
Now you just can't say that cherry pie is great without the crust. Get over it.
What really pisses me off it that British aren't self-made; they want to win the lottery or go on the dole. I hate people who bitch about people who do well - if someone wants my career they should get off their butt and play in a band for 14 years.
Each song has a little soul, a little persona, it's own little birth certificate and favourite shoe shops.
Somebody will come backstage and go, 'You saved me.' And I have to go, 'Stop right there. You saved yourself.'
