This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life — wait a second — you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself.

My problem was that I felt ashamed of feeling sad or angry. Now, I don't hide my vulnerability in my lyrics. There's no way I was going to get raped and not get something out of it. I learned about power and hope and forgiveness. I like who I am now and I wouldn't be who I am if that hadn't happened.

What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love.

My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon around youbut by the time I'm through I lose my desideratum.

Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love.

Do I wanna do right, of coursebut do I really wanna feel I’m forcedto answer you, hell no.I’ve acquired quite a taste for a well-made mistake,I wanna make a mistake.

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle and as soon as I settle, I bet I’ll be able to move on.
