Many women have tried to compare to you, but they are only flawed imitations. You deserve the worlds admiration.

Pop music often tells you everything is OK, while rock music tells you that it’s not OK, but you can change it.

She once said her songs were “mostly about myths, spirits, that kind of thing. Not fairies, stronger than that.” Not fairies. Stronger than that: there’s a fine phrase to bear in mind. Her lyrics are...
