My Parents Offered Me The Idea Of

Anything I Do Has To Be Directly Related To My Music. If It Isn't, I Don't Really See A Point To It.

And Ultimately The People Who Produce My Records, They Know That They're Here To Serve The Purpose Of Me Expressing Who I Am At This Period Of Time And Augmenting That Or Pulling It Forward And I Love That Process.

What Influenced Me Was Tori Amos, Who Was Unapologetic About Expressing Anger Through Music, And Sinead O'connor. Those Two In Particular Were Really Moving For Me, And Very Inspiring, Before I Wrote 'jagged Little Pill.'

I Hope That There Is A Very Confused 14 Year Old Girl Out There Who Hears Me Speak Or Hears Me Sing And Derives Some Sort Of Strength From That I Heard That When I Was 14 That's Exactly What Happened.

Why Are You So Petrified Of Silence, Here Can You Handle This? Did You Think About Your Bills, Your Ex, Your Deadlines Or When You Think You're Gonna Die? Or Did You Long For The Next Distraction.
