I never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.
My scars were reflecting the mist in your headlights I looked like a neon zebra, shaking rain off her stripes
When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right
How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?
I’m amorous but out of reach / A still life drawing of a peach.
My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon around you but by the time I'm close to you I lose my desideratum.
I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.
Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
The worst pain in the world is shame.
Most of the time you need something to fight against. If something is bothering me, then the only way to get past it is to work through it.
I realized I was trying to be friends with somebody who I used to be with but who I didn't get along with. I'm really big on that. I need to be friends with everyone that I've ever had a relationship with.
My career has been: first you have to prove yourself, then there's the sophomore record, then there's this thing and that thing, and you always want to be understood.
