I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

I don't regret anything.

My parents pretty much realized that I would do whatever I wanted, and that was it, really.

I just like tattoos.

There's no point in saying anything but the truth.

If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.

Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.

Yeah, I'm an open book.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

I just dress like... I'm an old black man. Sorry! Like I'm an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it's still the '50s.

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.

I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.

I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.

I know I'm talented, but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it's not where it begins and ends.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

I would say that jazz is my own language.

I like being by myself.
