Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.

It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

I'm not one to sit and wallow - I would rather figure out a way around so I can move past it and be at peace with things. I don't like bad feelings gnawing away at me.

I have a full life: I have two amazing kids, I have great friends, great family. And right now, that's plenty for me to manage. A new relationship just seems like way too much work.

It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

Time is a beautiful thing. It's like when you meet an old lover on the street six years later and they don't look so ugly anymore.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
