“I can turn heartbreak into songs that help other people.”

On her daughter: And she’s going through all these changes. You know, it’s just crazy times.

The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I’m just a sweet girl.

I’m taking my rats. Those are my friends for the tour. Thelma and Louise. They’re so cute.

The problem was, I was labeled as trouble – so I was like, ‘Trouble? I’ll show you trouble. You want trouble, well here it is!’ No matter what label they give you, the best thing you can do is prove them wrong.

The last time I checked, the only difference between my gay friends and I is who we choose to love. I’m not sure how that warrants a loss of rights, but it needs to stop. What ever happened to liberty and justice for all?

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.

I will never be a stupid girl… and neither should you. Today, charting your own course isn’t just more necessary than ever before… it’s also much easier — and much more fun. A good education is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself.

I’m about to make people forget about Madonna.

I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter-what a joke.

I think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it.

I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever.

We’re not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again.

My dad raised me with some good advice: ‘Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you’ll never have enemies, because people will always know where you’re coming from.’

Where there is desire there is going to be a flame where there is a flame someones bound to burned just because it burns doesn’t mean your going to die you gotta get up and try, try, try

I just get bored easily. As I’m sure other people do too.

I know I should stop smoking, but it scares me. I mean, what would I turn to next?

You can have it all without suffering from a meltdown.

It is sheer good fortune to miss somebody long before they leave you.

It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man.

She broke my heart but fixed my vision.

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

Fixing your heartbreak by getting into another relationship is not the way to live your life – you need to live it on your terms for a while.

I’m with a crowd but so alone.
