“I want to go, on a mountain top!
With a radio and good batteries
And play a joyous tune
And free the
human
race
from suffering”

“Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved and you push me up to this state of emergency
How beautiful to be!
State of emergency
Is where I want to be”

“I dare you to take me on
I dare you to show me your palms
I'm so bored of cowards who say they want (love)
Then they can't handle love”

Love

“It's interesting for me to bring up a girl. You go to the toy store and the female characters there — Cinderella, the lady in Beauty and the Beast — their major task is to find Prince Charming. And I'm like, wait a minute — it's 2005! We've fought so hard to have a say, and not just live through our partners, and yet you're still seeing two-year-old girls with this message pushed at them that the only important thing is to find this amazing dress so that the guy will want you. It's something my mum pointed out to me when I was little — so much that I almost threw up — but she's right.”
