On being a role model: “I find it relatively
easy to keep my clothes on because I don’t really feel like taking them
off. It’s not an urge I have. For me “risky” is revealing what really
happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs
and telling the true story about a person with enough details so
everyone knows who that person is. That’s putting myself out there,
maybe even more than taking my shirt off.”
On knowing when to not read about herself: “I know when not to read an article. Is it going to help my day? Is it important for my life? If the answer is no, then I just don’t click…. I’m careful about getting sucked into the rabbit hole that is the Internet because, as a songwriter, I don’t have the option of having thick skin. As a writer you have to be open to everything, and that includes pain, rejection, self-doubt, fear. I deal with that enough on my own. If you look hard enough, you could find somebody on the Internet criticizing every single thing about you. If you’re me.”
On freezing men out in a relationship: “I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.”
