I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue - I couldn't imagine myself seeking that.

I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.

I can't remove the autobiographical slant from the things I write. You always bring yourself into what you're writing.

I think of my career as something apart from myself.

I think of myself as a jungle musician because of my lack of formal training.

I've found out how overwhelming the media is and the way it drills things into your head, it's almost like a mind control. If I could control prople's minds, I'd like to put something useful in.
