The Worst Pain In The World Is

I'm A Tulip In A Cup. I Stand No Chance Of Growing Up

Through The Media, We've Establishes This Standard Of What Every Human Being Should Look Up To: Somebody Who Always Looks Right; Who Always Has The Right Light On Their Face; Never Has Bags Under Their Eyes; Never Says Anything Inappropriate. Somebody Who Always Somehow Turns Out Perfect. I Hate The Fact That Celebrities Are Supposedly A Higher Class Of Human Being. That's The Way I Felt Growing Up, And That's The Way I Think A Lot Of People Feel. So Now That I'm In This Position, I Want To Change Things. I Want To Be Like The Patron Saint Of Reality.

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.

I Have A Very Steadfast Tendency To Parent Myself, To Monitor My Development Into The Person I Want To Be. I've Tried To Keep The Corruption Minimal.

I Really, Really Enjoy Fitting Words Together - But I Only Enjoy It When It's Easy, When It Sort Of Rolls Along By Itself. I Never Erase Anything [and] I Hardly Ever Write Anything Down... The Song Will Be Finished Before I Write It Down... I Won't Write A Song Unless It Serves Me In Some Way, Unless I Feel I Have To Write The Song To Make Myself Feel Better. If You're Not Overflowing With Something, There's Nothing To Give.
