When I began experimenting, people weren't ready for it. Once it's in its second and third generational stages, people can accept it.

I have an aversion to being mislabeled. Here's a label I'd accept: I'm an 'individual.' I'm someone who can't follow, and doesn't want to lead.

I think I would go further into fine arts, I think, if I were to continue.

Every mistake has three stages: first, it is made, second, it is not admitted, and third, it’s claimed it didn’t make any difference anyway.

My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.

I wanted to paint in a folk-artist-y way. My heroes were Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, and Rembrandt. I think Picasso is about as a modern as I got. But I incorporated things that they rejected as well as movements that happened later.
